Mr. Richard Cronin:

That involved Professor Crowe and a team of other experts. We have recognised that piece on the Irish Sea for legacy sites and we will see public consultation launching for further sites as well. We have seen the potential locations. Now, our thought processes are about how would we bring more certainty to those so that we would de-risk those choices and bring that layer of environmental or ecological information to the decision-making process. Even without the legislation having gone through the process of enactment, we know this piece of work must be done.

The Deputy asked about the enforcement and capacity of the Naval Service. I answered a question from Deputy O'Callaghan on that but let me know if, in the transcript, Deputy Ó Brien feels that it is not enough.
