Mr. John Horgan:

Deputy Fitzmaurice has very eloquently made the case for biomass, BioEnergy Ireland and the development of a biomass industry in Ireland. It is true we have a problem with biomass and we will have to import large quantities of biomass. The Drax power station in central England is converting to biomass and is building its own facilities in the United States to harvest biomass, where they are also building dedicated shipping facilities to bring it over. One has to think big in this business. The biomass business is the future and we must be part of it. We need to have a biomass industry that will trade and import large quantities of biomass.
