We are working with EirGrid on its wider investment plan. Part of that equity will be used by EirGrid. As a commercial State body, it will also borrow on the back of that equity injection. We are also working with it in the context of the wider plan. That is to plug the gap with some of the work happening on offshore renewable projects. We obviously have the grid capacity in the regions to see that enabled in the south, south west and elsewhere. EirGrid is updating its work in the context of the equity injection, which is giving it funding certainty on that. The Minister, Deputy O'Brien, is co-ordinating that piece of work.
