Mr. Justin Moran:

That is our number one priority. As the Deputy will see in the action plan, it is about to try to move forward with those phase 1 projects as much as possible. We are working through the RFI requests that we have received now. One of the things we have highlighted to the Government is the challenge whereby we get a request and it is often a case of being told, "Go talk to this or that State agency”. The agency involved may not have the resources to meet us this within a month or two months, so there is a real gap there. A good deal has been done by the Government to invest in An Bord Pleanála, which is what delivered the robust RFI. Trying to ensure that the State agencies we now need to deal with to respond to the RFI are resourced and that they prioritise this is important.

We also want to see better co-ordination between the phase 1 projects, the Government and the State agencies resolving issues that remain outstanding. One of the issues we are trying to deal with in conjunction with the Government relates to the grid connection agreements and how they will function. It is important to try to resolve those issues. To be fair, I do not have any doubts about the commitment of the Department, EirGrid or anyone else to try to accelerate these projects, but we are trying to do a massive amount of work in a short time. Does Mr. Kelly want to come in on that?
