I thank the witnesses for attending. Can they give a little more detail on the type of marine energy experiments being carried out? Where do they see marine energy in the Irish energy mix? We obviously have to get away from the use of fossil fuels and, while many people would have seen wind as a way forward, there is now quite a lot of negativity around whether it is able to generate sufficient quantities of energy for our own future energy security. Where do they see the types of technologies they are working on fitting in to the overall energy mix of the country?
