I will come back in briefly, if I may. In the second part of my amendment I wanted to clarify in law and make sure, essentially, that the board is not required to promote or advertise new gas connections. I will not be pressing my amendment but this is an issue that needs clarity. I would welcome the Department looking at this and coming back to us about it on Report Stage. If it is the case that Gas Networks Ireland has to actively seek new connections and new business under law, that is not where we want to be. It is completely opposite to the direction of travel that this country needs to take. I would welcome the Minister of State taking the opportunity on Report Stage to clarify the situation in that regard.
