I am just off the airplane from a UN event on climate in Geneva. I apologise that I have not done my homework.

I have a couple of questions from my own perspective. The first is for both Chambers Ireland and IBEC. Do they have concerns at the absence of both marine protected area legislation and defined areas for MPAs in light of the ambition around offshore renewables? There is now a further delay in the legislative approach the Government is going to take on MPAs. There is a possibility that might leave some of the projects open to challenge at some point, if we do not have certainty about where MPAs might be situated.
