There has been a lot of movement in the meantime since the publication of the initial document about the energy security review. There has been jockeying, I think, and public arguments, and some of it is represents some of the Minister's own comments at different stages. There are those who have argued for liquefied natural gas, LNG, infrastructure for example. Does the Minister have a comment regarding that? Similarly, it is welcome that the ESB is looking at Kinsale gas field for potential gas storage. What criteria will apply? We heard from Professor Barry McMullin about the trilemma that exists in terms of sustainability, cost and security. He made the point that it is not a trilemma as they are not equal and not three legs of a stool. The priority has to be the sustainability piece. The Minister has echoed that position. How will he give effect to that, if that is his position?
