The report states that the vast majority of Ireland's exclusive economic zone, EEZ, is beyond the depth of fixed-bottom float and that floating is essential to achieve the targets.. Our understanding is that floating is a long way away and we are still waiting for it to be completed in the south. The technologies used for floating are different because it is further out and the conditions are more extreme. How developed are the technologies for floating to cope in the waters of the Celtic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean around our coast? There are some test sites in other parts of the world. How far away are we from getting that?
