Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport
Shannon Foynes Port Company: Chairperson Designate (Resumed)
Mr. David McGarry:
The Shannon Estuary economic task force, which has produced an interim report, is due to report in due course. The report will be launched by the Taoiseach, possibly later this month or sometime in May. The report will publicise and highlight the potential of the estuary and refer in particular to offshore wind and what needs to happen.
The port interacts with all the major stakeholders, particularly EirGrid. We do not have a direct trading relationship. It is one of engagement, influencing, persuading, trying to guide and support, and feeding into the planning and thinking on grid.
