Ms Aoife MacEvilly:
To answer the latter question, there are things we can learn. This was a unique measure in terms of the rebalancing. The way we look at the annual charges and assess the information was based on looking at it in the round. As we did not catch this, we will be looking at how we analyse the information that is provided to us to ensure that if there was a similar measure in the future, we would catch them more quickly.
Regarding ESB Networks, at the moment we are looking at further reconciliation and a deep dive into how that operated in the context of this year's network tariff review. We will take any decisions as to whether it was a non-compliance or administrative error and we would address that with it separately.
