Mr. Fergal Mulligan:
I will hand over to my colleague in a minute on the data centres. ESBN, EirGrid and Uisce Éireann are planning in the next five years to have sufficient capacity for 300,000 houses, as is planned in the programme for Government. That is in their plans. The capital investment is there to facilitate that. There is a risk about the delivery of infrastructure that we all know about. At the moment, the plans are to invest in that infrastructure to facilitate 300,000 homes across the length and breadth of the country.
