The point about private wire is very pertinent. It comes up quite frequently when I visit multinationals or large-scale employers in Cork that ESB Networks seems to have a very obtuse approach, even down to the length of time it allows for applications originally. I am glad to hear that this is a priority for the Department, because, unfortunately, it is a big issue. That is it for my time so we now proceed to Deputy Eoin Hayes.
