When Willie Walsh was here, we were commenting on and feting Mr. O'Leary for his early investment in sustainable fuel research at Trinity College. Could he talk to us a little about that and what he is trying to achieve there? I ask him to connect it to what is happening in the mid west, where the ESB is proposing to generate hydrogen from offshore wind at the times of the day when the demand is not that great. There is an ecosystem developing there around hydrogen which, hopefully, based on the research that is out there, will become the component part for the sustainable fuels that Mr. O'Leary has invested in. I ask him to talk to us a little about that because that is really the future in terms of making aviation sustainable and green-friendly.
