Mr. Mark Griffin:

Some of those issues the Deputy described are a matter for the planning authority. The final piece of the jigsaw that I will put on the table now is that we are developing a policy, which we will finalise shortly, on security of supply, and it will be one of those policies that An Bord Pleanála and other consenting authorities will be required to have regard to in any decision-making process.
