I thank the Minister of State and I welcome that, but he will appreciate the concern for both multinational and indigenous companies is that if we do not have the necessary infrastructure in place, it will place serious constraints on growth. I obviously welcome the commitment the Minister of State has made that the review of the connection policy for large energy users by the Commission for the Regulation of Utilities will be published in summer 2024. Summer can obviously be interpreted in a very broad way; is the Minister of State indicating that by 31 August we will definitely see the publication of this paper? Will there be clarity and certainty around how we can proceed with data centres in the future, which are critical to our society and our economy?
