I thank Mr. Gannon for his submission. As the Chair said, we had the Department in last week and went through much of this. I have a couple of questions for the commission. First, class 2 licences are to deal with operators that have fewer than ten facilities. Approximately how many households or individual customers are there within each of those? How much of an additional workload will this place on gas inspection officers and safety officers? I noted a €200 connection fee for the licence. Will that be enough to cover the additional costs or will there be additional revenue required to be able to provide for this?
