Mr. Harvey Appelbe:

The first point is that it has taken and will take a long time for this technology to get to the stage where it will be a product like wind. However, we should differentiate between what is happening in Scotland, where there is a lot of activity. There is a test site there with 11 berths jammed full of machines, huge employment and huge activity. If we were in Scotland, we would be talking about the fact that there is so much going on. It is not happening in Ireland in large part because of the absence of a consenting system. There are not the test sites and it is not possible for large companies like Vattenfall to invest in Ireland to make this happen. Until this Bill goes through, there is no future for that and it is not possible to build projects.
