I thank the Minister for his remarks that assistance was available in his Department and that he would encourage any new energy projects. Is he aware of the McCabe system which has been developed in Ireland with the assistance of the NBST? It was submitted to his Department but drew a definite no on every occasion. That is in stark contrast to the statement the Minister has just made. In this case the United States Naval Academy came to their assistance. This system has vast potential world wide, yet the Department do not want to know. I would be glad to submit the details to the Minister and hear what he has to say.

The Deputy anticipated my next remark.
