I thank all of the witnesses for adhering to their time allocations. Before calling members, I would like to put a few questions to the witnesses. My first question is to the officials from the Department . What Government buildings, if any, been retrofitted and have any of the mitigation measures of the national mitigation plan 2017 been implemented?

My second question is to Mr. Peter O'Shea. In the context of the statement in the ESB report that 60% of cars sold by 2050 will be electric, what is the basis for this projection and will sufficient charging stations be installed?

My third question is for Dr. Connolly. Is there a plan to roll out more offshore wind energy sites as the capacity for onshore sites decreases?

My final question is to the witness from the North West PV and Smart Renewable Energy Limited. It was stated that for every €3 of economic activity will be created for every €1 of State incentive support provided. On what are these figures based in terms of research?

I now invite Deputy Dooley to put his questions, following which I will revert to the witnesses.
