I thank Dr. Ó Gallachóir and certainly, I learned from the documentation he submitted. As for the Irish TIMES model, I had thought The Irish Times was something one read every day, rather than a model for measurement. Dr. Ó Gallachóir introduced something that is relatively new to me, although it has been discussed quite extensively in United Kingdom, namely, the carbon capture model. People there were advocating the use of the North Sea as a carbon sink for the United Kingdom. When the Kinsale gas field runs out, is it possible that it could be used as a significant carbon sink for Ireland?
