I thank Ms Donnelly for this comprehensive, lengthy and welcome discussion. Of all the issues remaining, wind energy is the one that I am most passionate about and intrigued by. Ms Donnelly has well covered that aspect, though, so I will skip over that topic and ask three questions regarding her views and those of the council.

Does she believe that hydrogen has any role to play in the domestic heating market? How long does she think natural gas will play a role in our energy market in the context of wind energy interconnectors and other energy sources? Is there space in the future for a fact-based debate on nuclear power, given the EU seems now as if it may classify it as a green energy?
