Ms Karen Kavanagh:

After the Government decision was conveyed to us, we would have done an analysis as it was implemented as part of the PR3 framework. It was the first year of that framework. On the specific analysis and tariff decision-making process for 2010, there would have been an impact analysis for domestic customers to quantify the incremental impact regarding transmission and distribution tariffs. One should bear in mind that transmission and network tariffs were a smaller component of the overall customer bill at that time, in the order of 25%. That would have been spread across all the residential customers at the time. As Ms MacEvilly said, we were in a newly deregulated market at that stage. There was a really active, competitive market in terms of supply offers available. That would have been part of the analysis that would have fed into the decision at the time.
