I welcome Dr. Stanley and her colleagues and thank them for coming before us. I welcome the development of this strategy, which is long overdue. As Dr. Stanley stated, there are constant threats to our undersea cables, natural gas supply, electricity interconnectors and, as outlined by Deputy Ó Laoghaire, proposed offshore wind turbines. They are all vulnerable to disruption so it is very important that we tackle this head on. I do not envy Dr. Stanley's task. As she said it is intergovernmental and Departments have to be brought together to develop this strategy. Has she a timeline for when she hopes to have the strategy finalised?
