Mr. Noel Cunniffe:

I will take the question about the CRU first and then pass to Mr. Moran on the marine protected areas, MPAs. I definitely believe the CRU needs more resources. In our daily interactions with people in the CRU they are highly skilled people who are very good at what they do, but they simply do not have enough people trying to work across such an enormous quantum shift in the energy sector in the next ten years, ranging from security of supply and trying to run renewable options for the first time in Ireland to trying to set up grid connection systems for both onshore and offshore renewables. In our experience the CRU does not have enough people to cover the sheer quantity of work that is being thrown at it in order for us to deliver on the target. I highly recommend that any budget that could be given to it in any way possible to increase its staffing levels would be given.

I will let Mr. Moran respond to the question on the MPAs.
