Mr. Pat Keating:

Yes. That relates to the 12,000 ha of zonings. This is so big that it will potentially have to be done on several sites, the SPL sites that were zoned on the estuary. It could include the likes of Foynes, Monneypoint, Ballylongford, Cahericon in Clare. All the sites that have zoning are made for this. The potential and scope is huge but as a country we need to get ahead, because we are behind. We do not really have a national policy for floating offshore. We have the objective of getting 70% of electricity from renewables by 2030 but that is only for our own local grid, not for the big resource of 70 GW. Our own local grid is only 6,500 GW or 7,500 GW. That needs to be resolved.

On the Foynes logistics hub, currently Foynes port is relatively isolated.

We do not have adequate hinterland connections. The first piece of this is to get that port and the port assets into the system, so we need to connect it. Hence the road. The Limerick to Foynes road is critical-----
