Mr. Brendan Barry:

Much investment has to take place, with a lot of pilot programmes, demonstrations and so on, but those things will not happen unless investors see a route to a market later on. Various aspects, such as this Bill, put in place one of the key ingredients - although not the only one - where investors can see that there is a fit-for-purpose efficient, consenting regime in Ireland, that there are plans for a leasing so they can see where their devices will go and therefore, can see why it is worth investing in the technology at that transition stage. This is one key ingredient that we need to see.
