Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs

Impact of Brexit on Ireland: Discussion

Mr. Glenn Carr:

We intend to have this completed by the end of the second quarter of this year. If there is a gap in funding, one option is the sustainable energy fund, SEF, and we have made our application in that regard. Having said that, to qualify for this funding from the SEF, which is the 30% for construction, we must have full planning permission for the project. The project must be very mature. We have not got through the planning permission process yet. The risk, therefore, with the SEF is that by the time we have waited for that funding, if such funding is needed, we would not be able to access it.
