Mr. David Hegarty:

I thank Deputy O'Reilly. I probably should not comment on the target for our offshore renewables. We have targeted that 80% of our electricity will be generated from renewable resources. The Government has set a separate target of 5 GW of electricity from offshore wind by 2030 and a further 2 GW from hydrogen. These are the Government's targets. The Department of Environment, Climate and Communications has established a task force, comprising the relevant Departments and agencies, in the area of offshore wind energy . The Department heads up a work stream in this looking at supply chain issues. It has just been established. In a sense, this work stream, which the Department shares and Enterprise Ireland is also on it, is essentially to maximise the supply chain benefits for Ireland from the development of the offshore wind sector. This is what we have to try to do.
