My question was in the context of Article 7, which involves transboundary consultation. The consultation in Ireland seems to be curtailed, but I understand Article 7 will still apply. On the dispatchable energy piece, it is specifically relevant, rather than being a general thing. I was quite specific that I was asking what demand-side measures will be taken in each instance when the decision is being made to activate emergency energy generation. We were told there were other measures that would be considered before emergency generation, and that is in each instance. If we have a day with low wind, what do we do?
