I will bring in Mr. Cunniffe in a moment but I want to pick up the point about the supply chain and our competing with Scotland. What springs to mind is that Scotland has a very established oil and gas industry and it is perhaps somewhat ironic that it is the tradition it has in the sector that helps the country in the development of the offshore wind and hydrogen. It seems to be a very significant challenge to try to compete with or get ahead of them because we simply do not have anything of that scale over here. Is it realistic that we can develop those supply chains such that Ireland could compete with Scotland?
