Mr. Kieran Ivers:

Green Rebel has quite a lot of scientists. We have people who have literally written books about the continental shelf and Ireland and they will identify the west coast as our basin for innovation. The context of ports will be different given the water depths off those ports and the types of structures that will be deployed off the coast line on the west versus the east. We would identify Galway and Rossaveel in particular as bases where innovation and centres of excellence can be created and where robotics can be deployed. The west coast of Ireland has deeper water and harsher conditions than anywhere on the planet. It is virtually impossible to simulate that in any environment other than the real thing. Given the opportunity for innovation presented by the west coast of Ireland, it will surely present an opportunity for exporting that level of expertise but that is not being done in the world at the moment.
