Gabhaim buíochas le gach duine. It is really lovely to have everyone in. I do not envy them the job they have ahead of them. As elected representatives, our role is to try to get transparency about what is happening to our grid and infrastructure.

I have a few questions. The first is for Eirgrid and Mr. Marley. Regarding our ORE being built at sea, we are installing the cables to connect to wind farms now, but the ORE is already delayed by slow planning and the recent request for further information from An Coimisiún Pleanála. Is there any update on the delay relating to the ORE? Will it delay electrification and diminish our 2030 goals?
