Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire. I welcome the clarification about the temporary emergency power generation at that location. That will bring the total power generation on the site up to almost 800 MW. I was surprised to hear that 20% of the total generation on the island is generated at the Huntstown plant. There is also a bioenergy anaerobic digestion power station separate to the conventional gas generator. The idea of retrofitting a district heating system to an established generation plant is, of course, complex but these large projects have a community benefit. If we could provide a district heating system connected with the various different activities at Huntstown it would provide a significant benefit to the surrounding community.
