I compliment the Department on getting the foreshore licensing done in 11 months, considering that it took three years for west Cork.

This is a great conversation to be having on port infrastructure, especially in respect of renewable energy and future offshore renewable energy infrastructure. I am a Cork Deputy so I will focus on the Port of Cork, if Mr. Murphy does not mind. It is great that a master plan is due to be announced. With regard to the master plan, reference was made to the rolling out of fixed-bottom offshore wind infrastructure. What is the timeline for that?
