David Stanton: I welcome the Minister of State and her officials.

A huge amount of positive stuff is going on and businesses are being...

David Stanton: As an aside, and maybe I am stretching it a bit raising it with the Estimates, there is going to be huge potential in the development of offshore wind. A lot of jobs will be created in that sector. A lot of new skills will be required and there will need to be a lot upskilling. A lot of the landing jobs will be onshore but many will be on ships. What strategies are being put in place to...

We are still going through that recruitment process with the 1,800 applicants.
