No, the spend last year was not what we had envisaged. I will bring a memorandum to the Government later this month or in the first couple of weeks of February on ocean energy generally and so on. It will be published. The sum would appear to be, by comparison with other constraints on us, a generous provision. It is an area where experts, including international ones, believe we have a great deal of potential, have not invested in sufficiently and could give Ireland a competitive advantage. The offshore renewable energy development plan, OREDP, will be made available within the next three weeks.
