I propose to take Questions Nos. 869 and 870 together.

Enet has, to date paid over €8.8million to the State, under the terms of the MSE I Concession Agreement.

The State has not made any payment to Enet as part of the MSE I Agreement.

It was agreed, as part of the decision to extend the Concession Agreement with Enet in 2017, to increase the State’s revenue share in the operation of the Phase I MAN’s.

While the details of the revised Revenue Share arrangements are commercially sensitive, it is estimated that the extension of the Concession Agreements will result in a total of €21 million cost savings to the State between 2020 and 2030.
