Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

3:00 pm

Mr. Mark Foley:

It will be longer term because an ocean environment is more hostile. One must get the power back on the east coast of Ireland and that is where the power is needed. Also, the east coast of Ireland is where there is relative strength in the grid. We would be quite clear about that. If one wants to make an impact on Ireland's 2030 targets, which is where the immediate and critical need is, then one needs to start mobilising offshore activity on the east coast.
