Mr. Denis Devane:

I would add that the OSPAR list of threatened an endangered habitats and species elements, which need to be looked at as part of the marine protected areas system, MPA, and network, is actually going to be looked at within those environmental impact assessments. One could be very confident that all of the wind farms currently doing their assessments are working through them now. If there is an issue with regard to marine protected areas, and the fact that we do not have them yet, it will come to light and An Bord Pleanála will have its opportunity to decide upon that. I just wanted to make this point to the committee.
