Mr. Noel Cunniffe:

On EU funding, I am aware of a number of areas that certain supply chain elements are investigating at the moment, such as the Connecting Europe facility. Hopefully, that will do something in terms of providing resources and investment in our port infrastructure. Getting our port infrastructure in place as early as possible this decade is going to be absolutely critical to hitting that 5 GW target by 2030 for the reasons outlined by Mr. Moran earlier, in that we only have one current port facility on the island. We cannot deliver all of these projects simultaneously from one port facility. I strongly recommend that anything that can be done to try to get investment into port facilities should be done. Another area of European funding to highlight, and one that I think will be very important, is further interconnection for the island thorough the east-west interconnector and the Celtic interconnector. These were designated as projects of common interest by the EU Commission, which assists in providing funding in order to get them developed. We are going to need more interconnection over the next ten to 20 years if we are to become the renewable superpower that we absolutely can be in providing energy, whether that is through electricity or hydrogen, to try to decarbonise the rest of Europe.
