I thank Dr. O'Toole and his colleagues for coming in today and for their opening remarks.

Returning to the energy transition Dr. Lynch spoke about, she mentioned the institute was doing a piece of work at present. When does the institute expect to finish that work? Obviously, it is analysing it in great detail other markets as well. The witnesses referred to the high cost of wind from Ireland in comparison with other jurisdictions, I presume in the EU. Could Dr. Lynch outline some short-term interventions to accelerate energy diversification here, which would maybe enable us to have a greater diversification of wind energy or renewables in general, as opposed to our current make-up?
