These energy companies have received funding from Government. There was €280 million given in subsidies for 28 wind turbines. When they did a business case to build those wind turbines, it did not make economic sense for them to be built unless they were given funding of €280 million to do that. Tomorrow morning, these companies could walk away after getting all these subsidies and leave the problem to the Irish taxpayer.
