Data centres were mentioned; there was a successful launch of data centre in Arklow recently. I think it was the first time a licence was issued in almost four years. Part of that licence agreement was the data centre could not take energy from the grid unless the grid had excess capacity. It was also obliged to provide the grid with capacity under time constraint. Can the witnesses confirm that?
