The next steps are likely to involve contracting fuels from the likes of the Port of Rotterdam and other such locations where there is already development. They will be used by some of the airlines in blended fuels. They will also include purchasing such material from an international market. We must then look at whether we can use some of the waste streams here for the development of such fuel capability. It is not easy to get into the refining business of this. It is large industrial processing. We have only one refinery. It is engaged in this and it is looking for waste products. The first step will be probably the purchase of fuels on the international market for use by Irish airlines.
