I have a question for Wind Energy Ireland. It may want to respond to everything. In the opening statement, witnesses were very strong on co-location and also said there are some circumstances where that will not happen and there will be MPAs designated where offshore wind energy development would be completely unsuitable. Can Wind Energy Ireland expand on what sort of areas and MPAs are involved? Witnesses told us where they would be appropriate. Could they tell us where it would not be appropriate and why?
