to HL and HL’s Securityholders
U.S. Holders, page 91
1.
We note that you have filed a short-form opinion as Exhibit 8.1, which states that the legal conclusions set forth under “Anticipated Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences to HL and HL’s Securityholders” constitute the opinion of counsel. Although you disclose that the parties “have structured” the Transactions to take the form of an exchange and that no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts “will agree” that the Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization, the disclosure in this section continues to state that the merger “may” qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Please revise your disclosure to clearly identify and articulate the opinion being rendered by counsel. If there is a lack of authority directly addressing the tax consequences of the Transactions, conflicting authority or significant doubt about the tax consequences of the Transactions, counsel may issue a “should” or “more likely than not” opinion to make clear that the opinion is subject to a degree of uncertainty, and should discuss the degree of uncertainty. For guidance, refer to Staff Legal Bulletin 19.
We have revised the disclosures on the cover
page and pages 21 and 91 of the Registration Statement, as requested.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Fusion Fuel Green PLC (“Parent”)
hereby responds as follows to the comment letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”)
dated October 22, 2020, relating to the above-referenced Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration
Statement”). For the Staff’s convenience, we have recited each of the comments in the Staff’s letter below
in bold, and set forth the response in regular font immediately thereafter.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement
on Form F-4
General
1.
We note your response to prior comment 9, and reissue such comment. In that regard, we note your disclosure that the parties “have structured” the Transactions to take the form of an exchange, which subject to certain requirements, may qualify as a “reorganization,” and your disclosure that no assurance can be given that the Internal Revenue Service or the courts “will agree” that the Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization. It appears that you have provided representations as to tax consequences of the Transactions, and that such consequences appear to be material. Please file a tax opinion regarding the material tax consequences of the Transactions. See Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K. If there is uncertainty regarding the tax treatment of the Transactions, counsel’s opinion may be qualified by the uncertainty but must discuss the degree of uncertainty. In the alternative, if you do not know the tax consequences of the Transactions, for example, if, in your view, there is an equal probability that the Transactions would be taxable, please revise to make this clear throughout your filing, including your Risk Factors section.
We have filed a tax opinion as Exhibit 8.1
to the Registration Statement, as requested.
2.
We have reviewed your response to prior comment 10, and reissue such comment. It appears that you have provided representations as to the tax consequences of the transactions and that such consequences may be material to an investor. Please file a tax opinion as an exhibit to the filing with respect to such tax consequences, or provide additional analysis as to why you do not believe the tax consequences are material to an investor. See Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K. For guidance, refer to Section III.A.2 (including footnote 40) of Staff Legal Bulletin 19.
We have included the requested tax opinion
in Exhibit 5.1 and have re-filed Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement.
3.
We note that the form of amended and restated warrant agreement filed as Exhibit 4.9.2 provides that Parent agrees that any action, proceeding or claim against it arising out of or relating in any way to the agreement shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, “which jurisdiction shall be exclusive.” We note also that Parent waives any objection to such “exclusive” jurisdiction. If this provision requires investors in this offering to bring any such action, proceeding or claim in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, please disclose such provision in your registration statement, and disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. If the provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please also add related risk factor disclosure. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please also ensure that the provision in the warrant agreement states this clearly.
We respectfully advise the Staff that we
have revised the indicated provision of the amended and restated warrant agreement to provide Parent agrees that claims arising
under the amended and restated warrant agreement shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York and the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, but that such consent to jurisdiction does not limit or restrict the state
or federal district court, as applicable, in which a warrantholder may bring a claim under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.
We have refiled the form of amended and warrant agreement as Exhibit 4.9.2. We have also added a risk factor to the Registration
Statement at page 66 with respect to these provisions and with respect to a warrantholder’s ability to pursue its legal rights
against Parent.

Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Fusion
Fuel Green PLC (“Parent”) hereby responds as follows to the comment letter from the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) dated October 2, 2020, relating to the above-referenced Amendment No.
1 to Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”). For the Staff’s convenience,
we have recited each of the comments in the Staff’s letter below in bold, and set forth the response in regular
font immediately thereafter.
Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.
Amendment
No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form F-4
Comparative
Per Share Information, page 28
1. Tell
us why you are presenting 50,000 weighted average shares outstanding for Fusion Fuel
for the six months ended June 30, 2020. We note that you disclose 41,929 weighted average
number of shares for this period in the statement of operations on page F-25 and your
Selected Historical Financial Information on page 24.
We
agree with the Staff that there was an inconsistency on page 28 of the Registration Statement. We have revised the disclosure
on page 28 of the Registration Statement to reflect 41,929 weighted average shares outstanding.
In
order to ensure that the per share information is correctly reflected other places in the Registration Statement, we have also
reviewed the corresponding numbers in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Profit and Loss for the Six Months ended
June 30, 2020 and performed the necessary update on page 112 of the Registration Statement.

We
have revised the disclosure on page 83 of the Registration Statement as requested.
3. Please
revise to disclose the Fusion Fuel financial projections and assumptions underlying such
financial projections used by Webber Research in connection with its Discounted Cash
Flow Analysis or tell us why you do not believe they are material.
We
have revised the disclosure on page 84 of the Registration Statement as requested.
4. Please
expand your disclosure to discuss the impact of the multi-stage sensitivity analysis
on the Discounted Cash Flow Analysis and the effect of the varying assumptions, such
as the PPA Agreement, Cost Reduction Assumptions and Output Factors, on such analysis.
We
have revised the disclosure on page 85 of the Registration Statement as requested.
Unaudited
Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information
Accounting
for the Transactions, page 107
5. We
have read your response to prior comment 8. You concluded that Fusion will be the accounting
acquirer upon completion of the business combination transaction. Please tell us how
you determined the transaction represents a business combination as opposed to a recapitalization,
including your consideration of whether HL represents a business, pursuant to IFRS 3.3
and Appendix B to IFRS 3.
We
advise the Staff that, in determining the appropriate accounting treatment for the Transactions, we first determined whether the
Transactions constitute a business combination as defined in IFRS 3. We note that a business combination must involve the acquisition
of a “business”. We respectfully direct the Staff to Appendix A of IFRS 3, which defines a business as “an integrated
set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form
of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members, or participants.” We
further direct the Staff to Appendix B.B7, which provides additional guidance for determining whether a “business”
has been acquired, by stating that a business generally has three elements:
a. Input:
Any economic resource that creates output or has the ability to contribute to creation
of outputs when one or more processes are applied to it. Examples include non-current
assets (including intangible assets or rights to use non-current assets),
intellectual property, patents and in-process research
and development, the ability to access necessary materials or rights, and employees.
b. Process:
Any system, standard, protocol, convention or rule that when applied to an input or inputs,
creates outputs or has the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs.
c. Output:
The result of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that provide goods or services
to customers, generate investment income (such as dividends or interest) or generate
other income from ordinary activities.
2
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in accordance with IFRS 3.B8, an acquired set of activities and assets does not need outputs to be considered a
“business”, but must at a minimum include an input and a substantive process.
Determining
whether Fusion Fuel is a “business”
We
then considered whether Fusion Fuel constituted a “business” under the definition in IFRS 3.
a. Input
Fusion
Fuel was established in 2018. The key assets Fusion Fuel are its (i) intellectual property rights, including the proprietary Direct
Coupled Photo Electrochemical Hydrogen Generator device (DC-PEHG) for hydrogen production and exclusive rights to use the concentrated
photovoltaic technology owned by its sister company, MagP Inovação, S.A. (“MagP”), for the purpose of
producing hydrogen; and (ii) employees.
(i)
Fusion Fuel has developed and tested a DC-PEHG that produces Green Hydrogen (as defined below) at one of the highest efficiency
ratios and at the most competitive cost (€/Kg) in the Green Hydrogen industry. The DC-PEHG uses solar energy to split water
molecules into hydrogen and oxygen through a proprietary photon-electrochemical process. The process is coupled with a solar concentration
system that harnesses solar energy for electricity and heat. Fusion Fuel filed its first patent, the “Direct Coupled Water
Hydrogen Generator for Hydrogen Generation from Concentrated Sunlight”, on March 10, 2020, which was accepted on August
3, 2020 with International Patent Submission Number PCT/IB2020/05733. Fusion Fuel plans to file a second provisional patent in
late 2020 called “Continuous and systematic electrolysis cell pressure system” and to file remaining two provisional
patents at the end of the year called “Oxygen evolution reaction without gas diffusion layer on an PEM electrolysis cell”
and “UPP design to reduce inter-cell mismatch”, respectively.
Fusion
Fuel also benefits from exclusive use of MagP’s intellectual property and CPV products when it relates to the production
of hydrogen.
First,
MagP and Fusion Fuel entered into a Contract of Disposal of Intellectual Property dated September 13, 2018, as amended on May
22, 2020 (the “IP Transfer Agreement”),
which transferred from MagP all intellectual property rights to the technology associated with the CPV Trackers (defined below)
used in Fusion Fuel’s Hydrogen Generators, including all registrations, documents, designs, software, domain names and any
other materials. MagP agreed to do all work associated with adapting the components used in the Hydrogen Generator that are MagP
developments, such as its CPV module, solar tracker and other miscellaneous components to be compatible with the Hydrogen Generators.
Fusion Fuel will have full ownership of the products created by MagP under the IP Transfer Agreement. Although MagP and Fusion
Fuel are sister entities, the IP Transfer Agreement was negotiated at arms’ length. The total consideration to be paid by
Fusion Fuel under the IP Transfer Agreement includes €1,000,000 for all rights to the technology to be paid in quarterly
installments over one year, which will commence upon completion of the Transactions, and a single payment of €900,000 for
product and technology development costs, which will be payable on the completion of the Transactions.
Second,
MagP and Fusion Fuel entered into a Production Capacity Reservation Contract on June 1, 2020 (the “Production Agreement”),
which provides that MagP is to supply Fusion Fuel with minimum guaranteed amounts of modules, tracking structures and accessories,
command boards, and electrical installations as well as assembly services for all equipment relating to the CPV solar trackers
used in Fusion Fuel’s Hydrogen Generators (the “Trackers”). Under the Production Agreement, MagP guarantees
to supply to Fusion Fuel all materials and installations for 4,200 Trackers over a three-year period which commenced at the beginning
of 2020 and expires at the end of 2022. MagP and Fusion Fuel are to agree to a production schedule each January which will establish
the number of Trackers and the fixed cost per Tracker to be supplied by MagP in such year. If Fusion Fuel does not place orders
for at least the minimum amounts set forth each year, MagP will be released from its obligation to supply such amounts and can
renegotiate lower production quotas.

(ii)
The senior management team of Fusion Fuel entered into
managing agreements with Fusion Fuel as of August 5, 2020, which went into effect on October 1, 2020. Two individuals from outside
the organization have been hired by Fusion Fuel as of October 1, 2020, and four individuals’ employment will be transferred
from MagP to Fusion Fuel, effective as of October 1, 2020. During the first months following the business combination Fusion Fuel
intends to hire another seven employees in accordance with its business plan. With this, Fusion Fuel holds the input with the
ability to contribute to the creation of output.
b. Process
Fusion
Fuel’s mission is to produce hydrogen with zero carbon emissions, thereby contributing to a future of sustainable and affordable
clean energy and the reversal of climate change. Fusion Fuel produces hydrogen using renewable energy resulting in zero carbon
emissions (“Green Hydrogen”) with components built in-house and in partnership with MagP, and using the know-how and
accumulated experience of its team’s strategic and continuous investment in research and development around solar technologies.
Fusion Fuel’s business plan includes the sale of technology to parties interested in generating Green Hydrogen at an attractive
cost (including to natural gas networks, ammonia producers, oil refineries, and other similar customers), the development of hydrogen
plants to be operated by the Company and active management of the portfolio of such hydrogen plants as assets, and the sale of
Green Hydrogen as an output with pre-defined hydrogen purchase agreements. Fusion Fuel will initially focus on development in
Portugal, Southern Europe and Morocco, but hopes to expand beyond this region as it believes the market potential is substantial
in countries with high solar irradiation levels.
As
described in detail on pages 151 to 156 of the Registration Statement, Fusion Fuel envisions two principal means of
generating revenue:
1. Project
business line: Develop solar powered Green Hydrogen manufacturing sites that produce hydrogen for the distribution and industrial
sale of hydrogen.
2. Industry
business line: Provide Green Hydrogen technology to third parties, including:
a. Providing
technology to clients who are looking to build a Green Hydrogen production facility.
b. Developing
and selling fully fledged concept and approved Green Hydrogen plants.
c. Tracking
and monitoring hydrogen generator performance remotely, including performing any maintenance
work required.
d. Operating
and maintaining established hydrogen plants.
In
furtherance of these business lines, Fusion Fuel has been collaborating with the Portuguese Department of Energy and the Secretariat
of State on Portugal’s contribution to the European commitment to a hydrogen economy since the summer of 2019. On September
25, 2019, Fusion Fuel first presented to the Portuguese Department of Energy for its consideration a proposal to create Portugal’s
first strategic Green Hydrogen production facility in the region of Evora, Portugal. The total value of the Evora project is approximately
€4.5 million. Fusion Fuel has also been in discussions with the Department of Energy for its approval of its Sines 1-5 projects
for the development of Green Hydrogen in Sines, Portugal. The Sines projects are for a projected 1,000 tons of Green Hydrogen
in 2021 and a projected 3,000 tons in 2022.

Pursuant
to IFRS 3.B12B, a process is considered substantive if the process is (1) critical to the ability to develop or convert acquired
inputs into outputs, and (2) the inputs acquired include both an organized workforce that has the necessary skills, knowledge,
or experience to perform that process and other inputs that the organized workforce could develop or convert into outputs.
Fusion
Fuel has a detailed process in its business plan which is critical to its ability to develop or convert its inputs into outputs.
Further, Fusion Fuel’s inputs, namely its intellectual property rights and its organized workforce, are critical to develop
acquired inputs into outputs. The workforce has the necessary knowledge to commercialize the technology for the creation of future
outputs.
c. Output
Fusion
Fuel is a development-stage company. It does not currently have any outputs, but is pursuing a plan to produce outputs. As discussed
above, Fusion Fuel has two critical inputs and a substantive process.
To
determine if a development-stage entity is a “business”, IFRS 3 Appendix B10 provides that an acquirer should consider
key factors, including whether:
● Planned
principal activities have begun.
● Employees,
intellectual property, and other inputs and processes are present.
● A
plan to produce ou

General
9.We note your response to prior comment 1, and your revised disclosure that the parties
have structured the Transactions to take the form of an exchange that may qualify as a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code, and that if the
Transactions qualify as a reorganization, it is anticipated that no gain or loss generally
should be recognized by U.S. Holders of HL ordinary shares for U.S. federal income tax
purposes. We also note the disclosure that a U.S. holder of warrants should not recognize
gain or loss on the adjustment of HL warrants for HL Parent warrants pursuant to the
merger. In addition, we note your disclosure that it is possible that the HL rights could be
treated in a manner similar to options to acquire shares of HL or Parent, in which case a
U.S. Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss upon the acquisition of Parent
Class A Ordinary Shares upon the exchange of each HL right for 1/10 of an HL ordinary
share and the simultaneous conversion of each such HL ordinary share into one Parent
Class A Share. It appears that you have provided representations as to tax consequences
of the transactions, and such consequences appear to be material. Please file a tax opinion
regarding the material tax consequences of the Transactions. See Item 601(b)(8) of
Regulation S-K. If there is uncertainty regarding the tax treatment of the Transactions,
counsel’s opinion should discuss the degree of uncertainty.
In the alternative, if the U.S. tax consequences of the Transactions are unknown, please
revise to make this clear in your disclosure. If true, please also revise your disclosure to
state that you cannot take the position that the Transactions will be treated, for U.S.
federal income tax purposes, as non-taxable transactions because of an absence of
guidance.
10.We note your response to prior comment 2, and your disclosure that Non-Irish Holders
should generally not be within the charge to Irish chargeable gains tax on the automatic
conversion of their HL ordinary shares into Parent Class A Ordinary Shares, or the
automatic adjustment of their HL warrants into HL Parent Warrants, pursuant to the
business combination unless the HL ordinary shares and/or HL warrants were used in or
for the purposes of a trade carried on by such Non-Irish Holder through an Irish branch or
agency, or were used, held or acquired for use by or for the purposes of an Irish branch or
agency. It appears that you have provided representations as to tax consequences of the
transactions. Please file a tax opinion as an exhibit to the filing with respect to such tax
consequences, or provide your analysis as to why you do not believe the tax consequences
are material to an investor. See Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K. For guidance, refer to
Section III.A.2 (including footnote 40) of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.
11.Please tell us why you have removed references to your Shareholders Agreement. In that
regard, we note you disclose on page 22 that Parent will be the accounting acquirer based
on the significant influences that the Fusion Fuel Shareholders will have over Parent
through their majority representation on Parent's initial board of directors and that,

File No. 333-245052
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Fusion
Fuel Green Limited (“Parent”) hereby responds as follows to the comment letter from the staff of the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “Staff”) dated September 8, 2020, relating to the above-referenced Registration
Statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”). For the Staff’s convenience, we have recited each
of the comments in the Staff’s letter below in bold and italics, and set forth the response in regular font immediately
thereafter.
Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Registration Statement.
Registration
Statement on Form F-4
Summary
of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus
Anticipated Tax Consequences of the Transactions, page 21
1. We
note your disclosure that the Transactions should qualify as a “reorganization”
within the meaning of Section 368 and no gain or loss generally should be recognized
by U.S. Holders. A tax opinion must be filed whenever the tax consequences of a transaction
are material to an investor and a representation as to tax consequences is set forth
in the filing. Please file a tax opinion as an exhibit to the filing or provide us your
analysis as to why you do not believe such an opinion is required. Refer to Item 601(b)(8)
of Regulation S-K and, for guidance, Section III.A.2 (including footnote 39) of Staff
Legal Bulletin No. 19. If there is uncertainty regarding the tax treatment of the share
exchange and merger, counsel’s opinion should discuss the degree of uncertainty.
We
respectfully advise the Staff that we do not believe that a tax opinion is required pursuant to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K,
and as such, we believe that no tax opinion on the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the transaction is required
to be filed in connection with the Registration Statement. We refer to Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19 at Section III.A.1, which states
that “Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K requires opinions on tax matters for…other registered offerings where ‘the
tax consequences are material to an investor and a representation as to tax consequences is set forth in the filing,’”
and in Section III.A.2, which states “[e]xamples of transactions generally involving material tax consequences include…mergers
or exchange transactions where the registrant represents that the transaction is tax-free (e.g., spin-offs, stock for stock mergers).”
We submit to the Staff that the disclosure in the Registration
Statement is not meant to provide representations as to tax consequences of the transaction to any party and in fact, does not
represent that the transaction will be a tax-free transaction. The tax section included in the Registration Statement is simply
meant to provide certain general disclosure related to the possible tax treatment which is all dependent on a variety of factors,
including, but not limited, to the type of investor involved and the holdings of such investor. We note that on pages 65, 89, 90,
91, and 93 of the Registration Statement, US Holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors as to the particular consequences
to them of the conversion or exchange of HL Acquisitions Corp. (“HL”) securities for Parent securities. Further,
page 89 of the Registration Statement states “BECAUSE OF THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TAX LAWS AND BECAUSE THE TAX CONSEQUENCES
TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER OF HL SECURITIES OR PARENT SECURITIES IN CONNECTION WITH OR FOLLOWING THE TRANSACTIONS MAY BE AFFECTED
BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN, EACH HOLDER OF HL SECURITIES AND PARENT SECURITIES IS URGED TO CONSULT WITH ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR
WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE TRANSACTIONS, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF HL SECURITIES
OR PARENT SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS, AS WELL AS U.S. FEDERAL
TAX LAWS AND ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATIES.”
We
have also revised the disclosure in the Registration Statement to make clear that no actual representations are being provided.
In particular, we refer to page 90 of the Registration Statement, which states “There is no guidance directly on point
on how the provisions of Section 368 of the Code apply in the case of a merger of corporations with no active business and only
investment-type assets. While it is possible that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368, such qualification
is not a condition of the Transactions...”
Furthermore,
HL has advised us that it believes the tax consequences of the Transactions to its shareholders are not substantially material
to such holders’ investment decision (as opposed to the materiality of tax consequences to a holder of a typical operating
company) due to the fact that if an HL shareholder has concerns with respect to the potential tax consequences to him of the transaction,
such holder may exercise his right to seek conversion of his shares to cash from the HL trust account and not become a Parent
shareholder.
Because
no representation as to the tax treatment of the transaction is being given and the tax consequences in this transaction are not
material to an investment decision of an HL shareholder, we respectfully believe that an opinion is not required to be provided
pursuant to Item 601 (b)(8) of Regulation S-K.
2. We
note your disclosure that Non-Irish Holders should not be within the charge to Irish
tax on chargeable gains on the automatic conversion of their HL ordinary shares into
Parent Class A Ordinary Shares, or the automatic adjustment of their HL warrants into
HL Parent Warrants, pursuant to the Merger, unless the HL ordinary shares or HL warrants
were used in or for the purposes of a trade carried on by such Non-Irish Holder through
an Irish branch or agency, or were used, held or acquired for use by or for the purposes
of an Irish branch or agency. Please file a tax opinion as an exhibit to the filing with
respect to this tax consequence, or provide your analysis as to why you do not believe
such an opinion is required. Refer to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K and, for guidance,
Section III.A.2 (including footnote 40) of Staff Legal Bulletin No. 19.
2
We
respectfully advise the Staff that we do not believe that a tax opinion is required pursuant to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K,
and as such, we believe that no tax opinion on the Irish tax consequences of the transaction is required
to be filed in connection with the Registration Statement.
We submit to the Staff that the disclosure in the Registration
Statement is not meant to provide representations as to Irish tax consequences of the transaction to any party. Page 94 of the
Registration Statement notes “This summary does not constitute tax advice and is intended only as a general guide. The summary
is not exhaustive and securityholders should consult their tax advisors about the Irish tax consequences (and tax consequences
under the laws of other relevant jurisdictions) of the business combination and of the acquisition, ownership and disposal of Parent
Class A Ordinary Shares and HL Parent Warrants” and page 98 of the Registration Statement cautions “THE IRISH TAX CONSIDERATIONS
SUMMARIZED ABOVE ARE FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY. EACH HL SECURITYHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT HIS OR HER TAX ADVISOR AS TO THE PARTICULAR
CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY APPLY TO SUCH SECURITYHOLDER.”
Because
no representation as to the Irish tax treatment of the transaction is being given, we respectfully believe that an opinion is
not required to be provided pursuant to Item 601(b)(8) of Regulation S-K.
Comparative
Per Share Information, page 28
3. Revise
to disclose book value per share. Please also tell us your consideration of providing
equivalent per share data. Refer to Item 3(f) of Form F-4.
We
respectfully advise the Staff that we do not believe such revision is necessary. We have complied with the requirements of Item
3(f) of Form F-4, as follows:
● Item
3(f)(1) requires that historical and pro forma per share data be presented with respect
to book value per share data as of the date selected financial data is presented. We
note that the weighted average shares outstanding basic and diluted used as the “denominator”
in the Comparative Per Share Information is based on book values and corresponds to the
financial line items in the Pro Forma Financial Information. As such, Item 3(f)(1) of
Form F-4 is fulfilled.
● Item
3(f)(2) requires that historical and pro forma per share data be presented with respect
to cash dividends declared per share for the periods for which selected financial data
is presented. We note that there have not been cash dividends declared for the periods
included in the selected financial data, and therefore Item 3(f)(2) does not apply.
● Item
3(f)(3) requires that historical and pro forma per share data be presented with respect
to income (loss) per share from continuing operations for the periods for which selected
financial data is presented. We note that Parent and HL are shell companies, and therefore
Item 3(f)(3) does not apply.

Risk
Factors
The
Parent Class A Ordinary Shares and HL Parent Warrants may not be listed on a national securities exchange after the business combination,
page 30
4. Please
describe in this risk factor the Nasdaq notice received by HL Acquisitions Corp. that
such company was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) for
continued listing due to its failure to maintain a minimum of 300 public holders, or
tell us why this does not present a material risk.
We advise the Staff that, on July 16, 2020, HL submitted evidence
of compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) to the staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Accordingly, HL requested that Nasdaq
render a formal determination to continue the listing of HL’s securities. On July 20, 2020, HL received a formal notice from
Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(3) and that Nasdaq had determined to close the matter. Because
HL is in compliance with all continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the previous notice of non-compliance does
not present a material risk.

expand your disclosure to clarify how the minimum cash condition and business combination
consideration were determined, including the issuance to Fusion Fuel at closing of 2,125,000
Class B ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 2,125,000 ordinary shares and 1,137,000
Class A ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 1,137,000 ordinary shares upon achievement
of certain earn-out targets.
We advise the Staff that, in connection with Parent’s
sale of approximately $25 million of Parent Class A Ordinary Shares in a private placement, which sale will close simultaneously
with the closing of the business combination, and the related amendment and restatement of the Business Combination Agreement,
the minimum cash condition was removed. We have revised the disclosure on the prospectus and proxy statement cover pages and on
pages 7, 14, 20, 21, 29, 73, 80, 101, and 102 of the Registration Statement to reflect these developments. We have also revised
the disclosure on page 78 of the Registration Statement to clarify how the business combination consideration was determined, including
the issuance to Fusion Fuel at closing of 2,125,000 Class B ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 2,125,000 ordinary shares
and 1,137,000 Class A ordinary shares and warrants to purchase 1,137,000 ordinary shares upon achievement of certain earn-out targets.
6. We
note you disclose on page 34 that the HL board relied on Webber Research’s valuation
of Fusion Fuel’s business in approving the Transactions and you disclose on page
81 that the HL Board gave “considerable weight” to Webber Research’s
extensive financial evaluation of Fusion Fuel’s business, as well as the business
of comparable publicly traded companies. We further note you disclose on page 35 that
in conducting its analysis, Webber Research relied upon projections with respect to the
future financial performance of Fusion Fuel prepared by management of Fusion Fuel and
the assessments of the management of HL and Fusion Fuel as to Fusion Fuel’s existing
and future infrastructure, contracts, products, technology, services, and projects. Please
revise to disclose the information required by Item 4(b) of Form F-4 and include the
valuation as an exhibit as required by Item 21(c) to Form F-4. In addition, file the
consent of Webber Research as an exhibit. Please ensure you discuss the methods and assumptions
used to determine the fair market value of Fusion Fuel, including the comparable publicly
traded companies analysis and the specific financial information and projections provided
by Fusion Fuel.

Statement and have filed the valuation of Webber Research as Annex D and the co
