Ms Marie Donnelly:

We are somewhat behind on some of the legislation and policy provisions for offshore. As the Deputy knows, one of the five offshore companies has now pulled out. The challenge that we will face is that we are in competition with other markets that are developing offshore wind, which had experience in offshore wind. I am looking, for example, at off the east coast of the UK or the North Sea near Denmark and Germany. We will be innovators in going out to the Irish Sea. It is a high-risk strategy and we need to ensure that the policies are not only in place but are carefully, thoroughly and precisely followed to support the flow of investment, because these will be big investments and we need to have clear policy positions coming from Government, supporting that level of investment.
