View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 202 and 203 together.
I wish to advise the Deputy that energy demand and grid impacts fall under the remit of the Department of Climate, Energy and the Environment. I understand that applications for grid connections at airports are a matter for each airport, and they may engage with ESB Networks in that regard.
