Mr. Jeremy Gault:

There are two major global issues, food security and energy security. The Deputy touched on both. With regard to energy security, Ireland has huge potential, probably from renewables but also in oil and gas. We definitely have lots of offshore energy in the marine area. In terms of managing it, we would like to see the management of that in conjunction with other users. This Bill does not deal with aquaculture, so it is not designed to do that. That is strange. It should deal with all the maritime users.
