I will ask a question related to Deputy Ó Rourke's. I thank the witnesses for the information on RESS 1 and 2. It seems the number of projects is still very small. The figure of 23 MW for RESS 1 was mentioned. I do not know, regarding RESS 2, what came out the other day for community projects in terms of output. What is the ambition for community renewable energy? Those numbers are very small in comparison to non-community generation.
