Dr. Ciaran Byrne:

I will give the details of the renewable support scheme and then pass on to my colleague. Through the scheme that is in place, we are helping communities to get involved in the renewable energy transformation. We effectively have a package of three measures. We have an enabling grant that allows communities to get off the ground, and that is up to about €180,000, we have put in a panel of trusted advisers who work directly with communities to help them on their journey, and we have built up a package of toolkits that helps them along the way. The package of all of those three together is getting communities involved.

We have had two RESS auctions. In the first RESS auction, we had seven communities through it, of which two are operational, two are on target this year which are 100% community owned, another one which is a joint venture is on target, and two have not progressed. Late last year, we had a second RESS auction. I might pass on to Ms McCarthy, who will talk about the wider wind piece.
