Mr. Jim Gannon:

I thank Deputy Kenny. I will begin answering these questions and then I will pass over to my colleague. In terms of how many, there are approximately 65 networks currently, with approximately 1,000 domestic consumers being served by them. They vary in size. Where two or more are served, they would be captured by this. In some cases it might be two, in other cases it could be significantly more than that and it is approximately 1,000 end consumers with about 65 networks. As for the regime that we will be putting in place, because these will be captured by a more conventional framework, the workload with regard to inspecting and ensuring that these are being kept to a standard will be less than was needed for the inspections regime last year, where we needed to work through the gas safety officer framework and structures. My colleague, Ms Loretta Joyce, will complete that.
