It reminds me of the saying that it is all right in practice but does it work in theory. Mr. Appelbe said "if it were commercialised", which is the main question.

When or how near is it to being commercialised? I know that many of the sites in Orkney are test sites. First it was tests for wave, then tidal, then there was a new methodology of doing the wave test and the tidal test, but it is all research. How near is Ireland to those kinds of developments? If we had the Bill ready in three weeks, can anybody come forward with the licence, the wherewithal and the know-how needed to proceed?
