Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

Following the Minister's conversation yesterday, will be a specific focus on a review of the T-4 option. There has been considerable discussion on this. Some 500 MW were not delivered, 400 MW of which related to the ESB. Will that be included in the review? Is it not entirely clear from the terms of reference whether that will be the case?
On a related matter, I ask the Minister for an update on emergency generation. We had the turf and EirGrid Bills and a recent piece on planning exemptions. Is that progressing apace? In a committee I raised with the Minister the capacity that is due to come on stream in the middle of next year. There was a question mark over the deliverability of that, given inflation etc. Can the Minister provide assurances on that?
