Cormac Devlin: Staying with that point, Mr. Mulvany mentioned ventilators. The figure of €42.5 million was provided for the procurement of ventilators, and according to the financial accounts of 2021, I understand €12.1 million of that amount was recovered. How is the recovery of that money proceeding?

Cormac Devlin: I have a little over a minute left and will have a rapid-fire question section. I refer to the annual report and appendix No. 4 starting on page 100. The second MRI machine for St. Vincent's is extremely welcome and it is good to see it included under the projects completed and operational by the end of 2021. I was struck by a completion delay until after 2021. The report refers to a...

Cormac Devlin: Yes. Mr Mulvany can come back to me on that. It struck me that some of the meetings were under attended.

Cormac Devlin: I saw that in one or two of them, but some of them were quite low. It is something to take note of. There was one where the attendance was ten. There was one with two. That was a resignation, I understand, after a short period on the board. There was another where the average was seven and the attendance was four. A number of them seem low.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I very much thank Mr. Fenlon and his colleagues for attending. The issue of the standing charge has come up quite a bit. I ask for a note to be sent to the committee on the calculation of that charge. I have received feedback, as have colleagues on the committee, regarding people who are extremely apprehensive about having no wriggle room in respect of that charge. It has increased over...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Is there an approximate figure? Electric Ireland has set aside a certain amount, so it must know, or even have a guesstimate, of how many customers it is looking at.

Cormac Devlin: Okay.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I have just a minute left. The difficulty during Covid was that people were still in receipt of money and, in the vast majority of cases, were still working. This is a cost-of-living crisis. People may be working but they do not have enough set aside to cover the cost of energy. That number may exceed what Electric Ireland earmarked for Covid. Mr. Fenlon made a point about individuals...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Electric Ireland is promoting that externally. It is promoting that to all customers. What is it doing for its existing customer base? Is it doing any direct mailing or targeting to inform the existing customer base?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome the witnesses and thank them very much for their engagement this afternoon. I compliment the engagement that ESB Networks has with us in the Oireachtas through the company's Oireachtas team, which is very proactive and responsive to queries. That is appreciated. In the opening statement it was mentioned that ESB Networks plans, builds, maintains and operates the electricity...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: I apologise for interrupting, but is the last scheme to which Mr. Duignan referred a community-based scheme or does it relate to businesses and so on?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Prices: Discussion (4 Oct 2022)

Cormac Devlin: Mr. Duignan might send on a note on those different schemes for the benefit of the committee. This is probably not in the ESB's remit and our guests might or might not be able to go into detail, but in light of recent events such as sabotage or attacks on energy systems and given the ESB is developing networks and protecting its own ones, has it reviewed its security? I am not asking our...
