I apologise for being a bit late. I hope I do not duplicate or go over what was already stated.

Recently, the Secretary General of the Department stated that we are having to even think about prioritising what the social need of the demand for energy is and whether it is housing and AI, and we are going to have to think much more about managing this demand. What are the thoughts from the witnesses from EirGrid and ESB on those comments? Are they comments with which they would agree?
