Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Energy Charter Treaty, Energy Security, Liquefied Natural Gas and Data Centres: Discussion (resumed)
Mr. Mark Foley:
The honest answer is that we are not exercised one way or the other about it. Once there is a clear policy framework and the regulatory authorities which execute policy are in the loop, there is no downside to EirGrid being involved. I do not think it is absolutely essential but we would not have any objection to being a prescribed body.
