I thank Mr. Marley. With regard to what Deputy Heneghan raised then in terms of long duration battery storage, there is a kind of frustration with the punters generally that, effectively, renewable energy is being buried or lost and fossil is effectively making up the balance, which is how they would see it, because of that storage capacity. Where are we in terms of the storage capacity? Is it realistic? What is the capacity? When it comes to the nuts and bolts, is it coming? These guys raised it as well in terms that it is essential.
