Professor Brian Ó Gallachóir:

I thank Deputy Bruton. It is a very good point with regard to how we make it an issue of national pride. In many ways it is Volume 4 that mostly covers this. One of the projects referred to in it is one in which I have been involved. It is based on the Dingle Peninsula and I believe the committee has heard from the Dingle Hub on it. The question of psychology is correct but it is also about sociology in terms of mobilising a community and a region to take pride and develop and grow something. The role of the academic institution in this project was to make ourselves available for the community, which wanted to embark on a low-energy transition. We made available our skills and the technological aspects of our knowledge, as well as our societal knowledge through sociology and other social science disciplines, to help with the organisation and facilitate the structuring of working groups and partnerships, bringing together industry and the public and private sectors, to mobilise around a common goal.
