What is the headroom or margin for this winter? EirGrid’s Shaping our Electricity Future 1.1 points out that 700 MW of previously awarded capacity was not delivered. What is the margin for this winter? There is 650 MW of temporary emergency generation to be delivered at four sites. I think Shannonbridge is to come on in October. Will the Minister of State update the House on the three other sites? When will they be delivered?

On the energy security review, is there still a commitment that the McCarthy report will be published with it and that both will be published or brought to the Government shortly? We heard that back in June, too. What is the time line?
