I wish to address this question to Mr. O'Connell and then address Mr. Keating. Any time their counterparts who manage airports come before the committee, they always tell us about their environmental credentials. We often hear about how aviation is moving to sustainable aviation fuel, SAF. There is a similar trend but it is not progressing as well in the maritime industry. It is examining different mixes of fuels. Much of that is down to shipping companies, not to ports. I wish to ask, as the country's main port, does Dublin Port have plans to move with the times? Airport managers tell us they have designated part of their airport for sustainable fuels and they are doing this, that and the other. Has Dublin Port built in something or is there a plan over the next years for a sustainable element such that if a ship pulls up and wants to avail of whatever new fuel form is being used, the port is equipped for it? Is the port planning and strategising for the next decade or so in terms of that level of sustainability?
