I am not sure what "coming weeks" means. I would like to see the McCarthy review. I do not know why it needs to be delayed. We could and should see it straightaway. I would like to know what “coming weeks” means because in June we expected to see it over the summer months. That was what the Minister led us to believe but it did not happen. What is the headroom for this winter? Does the Minister of State know what that will be in terms of supply and demand that a limited amount of temporary emergency generation will be a buffer?

The Minister of State mentioned diversification of fuel. What are the plans for Moneypoint? Is it the case that it is on track to be closed and to stop using coal in the years ahead? Is it now the plan to transition it to oil, as I am led to believe?
