Dr. Paul McGowan:

It would be premature of me to offer an opinion in that regard because I am not an environmental regulator and the CRU does not regulate the ESB from an environmental perspective. We want to see what comes out of the EPA investigation. Given that the matter has come to public attention, clearly, we will examine it in the course of our look back on expenditure over the current price control period, which ends next year. As I stated, there were no red flags from our perspective in terms of the reports we were receiving. The typical message in the reports was that the ESB was in substantial compliance with its environmental obligations, had carried out external and internal audit of them, and there were no major concerns. From time to time, it may have been in breach of a particular environmental obligation, but it dealt with such matters along with the relevant environmental or safety regulator at the time.
