Sorry, I will let Senator Cummins in now. The national planning framework obviously sets out targets on how the country should grow, and how we should get the balance right, as well as compact growth, decarbonisation etc. Apart from housing numbers, could we use as indicators the investment that has gone into the network, and where capacity has reduced in areas? If one has the capacity and it has reduced, it is because there is more load or demand coming. The same goes for the ESB. Would its network load give us an indication of development in areas?
