Mr. Jeremy Gault:

Yes. Why would it not? If it is spatial management of the marine resource, one should manage for the best. What one should try to do is put in the best industry possible for the marine area. One should look at it and assess what would be best based on a number of factors, including the environment, the economy and societal acceptance. People were talking previously about wind energy being unacceptable on land, but consider what happens when it is moved offshore. The Arklow Bank Wind Park is clearly visible from the shore, and people do not like that either. Wind farms are marmites, one either likes them or one does not. There is no in-between. One must accept there is still a visual impact of having wind energy in the offshore environment as well. Does that answer the Deputy's questions?
