Through the Chair, I am aware of it. It is something that has been considered by the Irish Naval Service and I am familiar with that. In a general point on wind, the history of wind power is there for all to see. Wind energy has been deployed throughout the Middle Ages, be it on sail ships or windmills, in a variety of different locations worldwide. This is not a new source of energy but what is new is its deployment for the production of electricity to the scale and extent under discussion.
