Mr. Nicholas Tarrant:

EirGrid plans the transmission system across all of the country. We are talking to EirGrid over the last period about in the region of 380 projects with a priority of around 80 projects. It will depend on which options are chosen around the development of the transmission system. We are talking about offshore projects but let us consider what happened with onshore projects. Significant infrastructure was put into onshore wind projects to develop the assets that were growing in the west. From the south west right up to the west coast there was a huge amount of investment to enable the bringing of that wind on to the system and communities have reaped huge benefits. The future development of the offshore industry could be on all parts of our offshore area and definitely with the growth of floating as a technology for the future. Ultimately, the first phase will depend on a continuation of the RESS auctions and then beyond that as the offshore wind industry takes off in this country. I think that the industry has a fantastic future.
