I have some questions for BioCore. If we are going from ten or 20 plants to 100, 150, 200, or whatever the figure it is, that in itself will be a challenge. Mr. Murray mentioned lengthy planning processes as a barrier in his opening statement, which is, unfortunately, often the case. He used the example of Ballaghaderreen. How long was it from when the planning permission application went in until the plant was operational? What are we talking about when he refers to lengthy planning, if we take that as an example?
