Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland: Chair-Designate

9:30 am

Ms Julie O'Neill:

I do not see myself proposing anything that involves people living in tents in the countryside. I made the point about agriculture that I see personally its huge value to this country. We are very lucky that it is not an either-or situation. If, for instance, we were to deliver on our wind targets that would add approximately 4,400 net extra jobs to the Irish economy. Sometimes the impression is given that using wind costs jobs but it actually adds net jobs to the economy.
