Colm Burke (FG), Cork North-Central

I thank my colleague for raising this issue and I thank the Minister of State for the reply. Regarding wind turbines at sea, in view of the fact we do not have a huge amount of expertise in that area to date, I ask whether part of that funding would allow companies to have people work overseas for a period in order to get experience or necessary training. A number of other countries are well ahead of us regarding wind turbines at sea. We do not appear to have the relevant expertise here to the degree we need it if we want to develop that whole area very quickly.
