Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy

Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Ian Talbot:

We do. We are thinking about it more than we used to. It is a serious point. All the photographs we have stored in our phones are all developing data. That service is something that ordinary people want as well. It is a dilemma, but we need to get better at building key critical infrastructure. We know what we need to do. We can play with targets. We can talk about housing. Do we need 70,000, 60,000 or 50,000 houses? We need more than we are building at the moment. It is the same with onshore wind and offshore wind. We need more than we are delivering at the moment. It is getting more and more urgent every week and-or month and-or year that passes by. We are talking about it and not delivering.
