It was good that there was a response to temporary emergency generation. We had to have some sort of capacity within the market. Mr. Foley makes the point around Moneypoint as well. How long was this temporary measure or sticking plaster meant to be in operation? Given what Mr. Foley is saying about the latest auction, if the next one does not materialise with many bidders, we are relying on this temporary fix for longer. How long was it built into the system to last and how long might it be needed?
