I think EirGrid should do that, and that it should go for it now. I worked in this area when I was not a Deputy and I know that Brussels is ready and waiting to do further funding, and it is our big project to add to a European climate response. We have to work on the UK Government on it as well because it is critical. We must work east-west as much as North-South. When does Mr. Tuohy expect the North-South interconnector to proceed? What is his assessment of the legal or other difficulties in Northern Ireland that are holding us back?
