Mr. Noel Cunniffe:
For any subsequent auctions after the Tonn Nua auction, a number of things would need to be done in the south coast DMAP. In our offshore wind action plan, one thing which has not been done yet is the implementation of the south coast DMAP implementation board. It is a specific board that was due to be set up to be able to determine how best to utilise the sites. That could be through future auctions or through competitive maritime area consent processes for seabed leases. That has not been established yet. We are calling for it in order that there will be some certainty about what we can do with sites B, C and D within the DMAP.
