We have one map going and I assume there will be various maps. I am curious about how long it will take to map out the country. From my engagement with the wind industry here and elsewhere - I was at the wind trade show recently - the industry is desperately worried that we are so far behind. We are ten years or more behind where we should be. Other countries have gone well beyond where we are at. We do not even have one map yet. It sounds difficult. Is there a plan for the next 30 years? Will the whole country be mapped or will we have just started, if you know what I mean? There are quite a few companies that want to engage. We often see presentations and probably 100 different companies are interested. Many of them are Irish, which is great. Ms Brien said there has been some engagement with companies that are interested. From being involved around the edge of it, I know it is a huge industry that involves big toys. It is not small stuff. I assume the number of companies is limited. I am rambling a little. Those companies are dying to get started but we have not started yet. Is there a timeline? Once we get started, will it move quickly?
