Mr. Declan Meally:

On the construction pieces, they are going to be needed right around the country. It is not something the SEAI is directly involved in. The Irish Maritime Development Office, IMDO, looks at it and it would have been looking at the ports development. It is part of a wider cross-departmental group that is looking at the infrastructure and the evolution as to what needs to happen. We in the SEAI are looking at the research area, the technologies and what needs to happen, for example, across the grid. The ongoing discussion is about where they are going to be located, because we are not going to be manufacturing a lot of them but they will need lay-down areas close to the ports, such as at Rosslare or even Killybegs, which has started into that area as well. It is going to be deciding where is the land that is needed and how can they have quay access to it. It does not need large infrastructure but will need quay access and that is going to take some time.
