I thank the Senator and Mr. Lynott. It is a very interesting discussion and it is good that it will come to policy choices and we are not bound by technological deficits. It is a matter of us making decisions and tweaking things so we can get the outcome we desire. Green hydrogen is an idea we could accelerate if we wanted to get to greater than 70% of energy coming from renewables by 2030. It is very exciting to see the ESB's plans for Moneypoint and I am interested to hear of more ambitious plans in that space in the coming weeks, months and years.

I sincerely thank Mr. Lynott and Mr. Douglas for their comprehensive answers to our questions and we really appreciate them. I need to listen back to the session and do some thinking about some of those answers. I have certainly learned much today and I know when I listen back I will probably have many more questions. Perhaps at some other time the witnesses will come before us if we have further questions.

We will now adjourn until next Tuesday, 1 June, when we will meet in private session at 11 a.m.
