I thank the witnesses for their work and contribution. Their objective is clearly to move Ireland away from fossil fuels. For that to happen, we need to have a sufficient number of renewable energy sources. My view is that we need an abundance of energy to be able to meet all of the needs of the country going into the future. Do the witnesses think as a State that we are moving quickly enough to meet our renewable targets? What more does the State need to do to ensure that we can?
