Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Renewable Energy and Port Capacity: Discussion
Mr. Tim Murphy:
In terms of consents, the Port of Cork already has planning permission and a foreshore lease in place. We met with the developers and ORE applicants last week as part of the process relating to consulting on our master plan. We are satisfied that we have all the infrastructure required to satisfy their needs. In terms of funding, we will know the outcome of our European CEF application in June. Hopefully, there will be good news there. If not, we are actively engaging with the Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, ISIF, in any event, so I am not as strident as my two colleagues on the issue of intervention.
