I will come back to the Deputy with a more detailed response after this session, then. In terms of Moneypoint, it is scheduled to be decommissioned. I am not aware of a suggestion which I think I saw in the media this morning that it would transfer to oil. Oil and coal are the most inefficient and most polluting forms of generating electricity that make the most emissions. Our move is to turn Shannon into a clean energy hub and to use the grid capacity that exists in Moneypoint for clean energy generation and hydrogen.
