I move amendment No. 275:
In page 206, line 18, to delete “and offshore transmission system operator”.
Amendment No. 275 amends the MAC assessment criterion no. 7 on the grid connection plans. It removes the term "offshore transmission operator". As mentioned in the withdrawn amendment No. 267, this element may need to be revisited on Report Stage.
Amendment No. 277 provides for an additional MAC assessment criterion to ensure that the outcome of any competitive processes under this Bill can be used as part of the assessment.
On foot of what I have mentioned, perhaps Deputies Higgins and McAuliffe may wish to withdraw their amendment No. 276. .
