Obviously, Shannon Foynes Port Company is an intermediary in terms of the offshore wind industry and bringing it onshore. Who is joining the dots between the wind installers, the operators of these wind farms, and bringing it on-shore via Shannon Foynes Port Company facilities and bringing it onto the grid? Is somebody on high looking at all of this and connecting EirGrid to the Shannon Foynes Port Company and the industry? Is that something the Shannon Foynes Port Company or EirGrid needs to do? Does the Minister need to impose some kind of guru to look at everybody and bring it all together? Where are we on that?
