Planning Challenges in Offshore Renewable Energy: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Justin Moran:
There is. I do not think it necessarily includes all the entities the Deputy mentioned, but MARA is involved with the offshore wind delivery task force chaired by the Minister, Deputy Darragh O’Brien. I do not know whether Ms Brien wishes to pick up on that point. I do not think it brings in An Bord Pleanála because there would be a regulatory issue with the latter being involved. It is a place where various different State agencies and Departments come together to try to unlock this and move it forward. I think it has been successful in doing so. As a lobbying organisation, we always want it faster, but it is moving in the right direction.
