I thank Professor McMullin. Some of my questions have been asked. Will he elaborate on the fact that Ireland does not have a hydrogen strategy? How important is it that Ireland develops a green hydrogen strategy to take the decisive decisions he outlined in his opening statement? I noted his social media post about the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, CRU, and the security of electricity supply. Its focus is on a least cost delivery of generation and infrastructure instead of one of speed, reliability or cumulative emissions. Will he outline why he thinks this is problematic from an energy needs hierarchy perspective?
