Eamon Ryan: I thank Mr. Greg Muttitt and Mr. Allen for their very interesting presentations. I do not know whether Mr. Muttitt had a chance to see an earlier hearing when the International Energy Agency, IEA, made a presentation because the agency's figures are quite different. I specifically asked it about the figures when I was here because I had seen some of Mr. Muttitt's material. If I recall...

Our best engineers tell me that it is not just voltage and frequency stability that...

After almost 50 years, we have learned that the culture change which Mr. Allen is seeking is a difficult one. Rather than us always putting the attention on the individual, is the Department...
