Joint Oireachtas Committee on Fisheries and Maritime Affairs

Planning Challenges in Offshore Renewable Energy: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Robert McCabe:

I have a brief general point to make. At the end of his contribution, Deputy Maxwell asked what the committee could do. It is important not to lose sight of what the committee is doing already. We have in the room legislators, Deputies and Senators, looking out to sea. That in itself is quite remarkable in that the focus is on the sea. It is really important that the committee is doing that work. The sea is becoming increasingly relevant in our lives, as we can see. I think Covid-19 and the Suez crisis taught us that. Well done on what has been done to date.
