The temporary energy generation involves four peaking plants in four different sites around the country. One is coming on line in October, another in spring and the other two next year. I can give the Deputy a more detailed time line outside of this reply.

The McCarthy report looks at the reasons for the capacity generation shortfall, that is, the reasons we are in this situation. It was commissioned last year and will explain, from an independent viewpoint, the causes for why we were in a situation where we had to procure emergency generation at short notice. It will be published as part of the energy security review and that will happen in the coming weeks and will be brought to the Government for approval in the coming weeks.
