Mr. Tim Cowhig:

We concur with most of what Mr. Reilly has said. I would add that the community benefit programme is a very important part of the whole process. Community buy-in and acceptance of a project such as this is important. It is also part of the strategic infrastructure development, SID, process that a community benefit programme must be put in place. It could well be taken out of the hands of the developers, as it could be imposed on us through the SID process in terms of on how that money is to be distributed or who is to manage it. It is important that community consultation takes place around this whole process. We are open to looking at issues such as investment bonds and free electricity. We gave a commitment here today that we believe that everyone living within one kilometre of a turbine should be compensated in some way.
