Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Patricia Comiskey:
I would make just one quick point on the question of locations where there would be opportunities to co-locate and others where there would not be such opportunities. The committee should be aware, if it is not already, that a process is being undertaken by the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications in the context of the offshore renewable energy development plan, which is looking at a plan-led approach and which will consider areas for future offshore renewable energy development. The Department is looking at the opportunities for areas to develop as well as the constraints and that will feed into the DMAP process.
