Mr. Eoin Dorgan:
It identified a number of factors. There is also the regulatory approvals process. The key issue was capacity constraints, which was very much the subject of the ESRI study in terms of reviewing the NDP and, in a sense, looking at trying to strike the right balance between how much capital we put into it and what output we get. There is a need to be cautious. There is no point in putting in an excess amount of capital if we are just going to drive inflationary impacts and still get a very similar level of output. It is about trying to strike that balance.
