Returning to the emergency power generation scheme, I note that there is €150 million allocated to it. There is another €150 million added to subhead B13, which is the energy transformation programme.

On something we spoke about previously, has the Minister explored and engaged with the existing infrastructure to try to keep what we have already, expanding the life span of existing sites around the country to ensure that there is a supply of gas and other materials? Has that happened in tandem with looking at new sites for energy generation? The Minister might come back on that and then I will have other questions.
