Harnessing Ireland's Ocean Wealth: Marine Co-ordination Group
Mr. Martin Finucane:
I want to add a specific piece to the response. The Deputy specifically asked about offshore wind energy. In the climate action plan, a number of actions directly point towards the development of this by 2030. We have upped our renewable electricity target to 70% of renewable electricity from renewable sources by 2030. This specifically targets approximately 3,500 MW of offshore wind capacity. There is a real awareness and requirement with regard to developing our offshore wind resource.
