Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
Mr. Eddie Burke:
On the first point regarding LNG, we have made a case and we will continue to make the case strongly with regard to LNG and the Government's policy in that respect. On the question of offshore renewable energy, ORE, we absolutely agree on the potential that is out there, whether is on the south-east, south-west or west coast. It is huge. We know ports are considering the opportunities it may be provide both for themselves and rolling out further. Currently in the Connecting Europe Facility and the Trans-European Network for Transport, TEN-T, there is a call that closes in early January next year. We know there is considerable interest from sectors with regard to the facilities that will be required to roll out offshore renewable energy.
