I am deeply concerned that if that is the Minister's assessment of the matter, it is entirely incorrect. Whoever steps in to Government buildings after the next election - particularly if it is Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael together - last week, driven through by Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party, we wrote into legislation what is essentially the formula to deliver LNG. That is my deep concern and my political assessment.

In terms of the Minister's assessment of where things go from here and those alternatives to LNG that have been offered for potential consideration, what does the Minister think they are? There were some reports that maybe some of GNI's latest reports might say that LNG might not be necessary or a solution. What does the Minister envisage? He mentioned interconnection. What does it look like?
