Mr. Mark Griffin:
To give the Deputy of the flavour of what is happening, the test site infrastructure in Galway and in Belmullet includes finalising the licence and arrangements in the development of the pier in Belmullet. In Belmullet we are developing a site to have a full-scale prototype of wave or tidal energy technology. Off Galway, the facility is a quarter of the size. The IMERC facility in Cork is a test tank facility to allow us do more of the experimental research.
