It seems that Ireland will probably go down a positive path. The concern is Europe and countries that may not have the renewable resources that we have. They may rely on fossil fuels, albeit cleaner fossil fuels. Maybe the path for Ireland is to say that we are not just going to supply clean energy to our own market but also to Europe too, to make it easier for Europe to get to net-zero emissions.
