Can the designated marine area maps, DMAPs, for phase 3 be run in parallel with those for phase 2 and, if not, why not? Will the Minister confirm whether any human resources have been dedicated to progressing phase 3 at this time? Those are two clear questions. Is there a specific workstream for phase 3 within the offshore wind task force? What about wet storage, which is the storing of unfinished turbines before assembly, or a finished turbine, before they are moved to the wind farm site? Will the Minister outline plans for that? Will he confirm whether floating offshore wind off County Cork and Shannon will be prioritised and how?
