I got a briefing from the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage which anticipated it being commercially viable by 2037 and that has been pulled back repeatedly. I might put this question to the Department. I am hearing from Irish-backed operators who are operating throughout Europe that Ireland is not ready in terms of grid. It is not ready in terms of strategy. It is not operating at the pace that the market is operating at in terms of being ready for the commercial viability of offshore floating wind. Is that correct? Where are we on that?
