On data centres and housing, it is projected that we will probably end up with between 200,000 and 250,000 new homes between now and 2030. In a few words, if the demand by data centres increases - at the moment they account for approximately 22% or 23% of our electricity demand - to more than 30% or up to 35%, will ESB Networks be able to supply the additional 250,000 houses that are required between now and 2030 as things stand? Mr. Tarrant has 30 seconds.
