Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Marine Planning and Development Management Bill: Discussion

Ms Martina Hennessy:

May I add something to that? One of the significant pieces of work we are undertaking, which will kick off shortly, is an update to the offshore renewable energy development plan. As part of that, we will have extensive stakeholder input and involvement. It will look at the future strategy on ORE development, particularly as there have been technological advances since the last one was completed. When the last one was undertaken, there was extensive input from all stakeholders, including the environmental NGOs. We see them having a significant role to play in the new plan and we will initiate work on that very shortly.
