This is my last question. If we are looking at wave technology where we have a mobile system rather than a fixed one, would there be potential for somewhere like Donegal where foundations would be affected by a deep build? Would that be something to consider in the future for somewhere on the north coast where we have an abundance of wind? Where there is sufficient depth of the ocean floor, could we have fixed-mobile units in place as we would not be tied to a particular coastal location? At the moment, that is not really being looked at.
