In the review of the national marine planning framework, which covers the entire marine, you could have the development of an MSP that only relates to a part of the marine or you could have a series of consecutive MSPs that are contiguous. I presume the plan is to, over time, fill out all of the detail that is not yet there in the national marine planning framework with multiple MSPs. The boundary of a DMAP is not necessarily contiguous with any of that. It could be just a subsection.
Could you have a DMAP specifically related to the legacy projects for offshore wind prior to the establishment of MARA and MARA's process of consent to the planning authority or am I jumping too far ahead in terms of the function of DMAPs? I may have another question on that depending on the Minister of State's answer.
