We get everybody living in the towns and then we force our own problems.

Whereas if you...

look at the benefits of rural Ireland.

Like, no one seems to appreciate it.

And you can see it from living in the area where national policy is pushing the wind energy and they, you know, on board Planola will come out after they approved Planora and said that the landscape can absorb the industrial turbines.

It can't.

And there's just... Living in rural Ireland is not a bad thing.

You cannot blame houses in rural Ireland for the cost of electricity.

Like there is a plethora of... I'm not... The connection that rural Ireland is...

the reason for higher electricity problems.

It's on everybody's electricity bill, and that is because of the wind energy we've developed, not because of housing in rural Ireland.

I don't mean to interrupt you, but are you honestly saying that housing in rural Ireland...

is costing electrical payers money.

But because we have issues with the national grid, you're saying that housing in rural Ireland is unsustainable.

And the fact is... By the government agencies that are pushing wind energy.

Yes, but now, to be fair, given in new houses, they all have to abide by the very same regulations, and I, for one, absolutely know that my septic tank is fully in line with all regulations.

It costs an absolute fortune.

So I think this goes back to the point I made to you Ciarán.

No one is willing to see the benefits of living in rural Ireland and everything from National Strategy and all the reports that you have pointed out there Sean, there is no benefits to living in rural Ireland despite the fact that here in my area we have a lineage of living in this

area for over 5,000 years.
