Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

We are happy to do this. However, because of the interest in the project in Portlaoise, it is important to be able to answer the question when it comes up . As soon as this site is ready for our electrical connection work to be done, we will work with the developer to get it done.

On the broad point about investment and connections to the network, we operate on a first-come-first-served basis, apart from the data centre direction that came from the CRU in November 2021 and that was mentioned earlier. This is in accordance with our licence. Irrespective of the sector involved, whether it be a business application, housing connection or electrification of heat and transport, they are dealt with on a first-come-first-served basis.
