Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

Impact of Brexit on Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Barry O'Connell:

It could be a quick answer before I abdicate and hand over to Mr. Carr again. Our involvement in offshore wind energy is limited simply because we do not have the facilities to allow for infrastructure development at the same scale as other ports are considering. We are facilitating the onshoring of such power through cabling, facilities, substations, etc. We do not, though, have any land available where we are commissioning the equipment for development.
