Mr. Robin McCormick:

When the Chairman refers to the rural grid, that suggests smaller-scale generation connecting to the ESB distribution network. We are responsible for the "motorways" of the grid network, which has the capability of transmitting large quantities of electricity. We have to take the total impact on the distribution system from ESB networks and reflect that in any infrastructure investment that is required in the context of the transmission system. We have been doing that. Let me give examples. Small-scale wind generating capacity has been connected to the distribution system.
