Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Energy - Ambition and Challenges: Discussion (Resumed)

Dr. Marie Bourke:

We absolutely see port infrastructure as critical to the development of the offshore wind industry. We have had a series of meetings with the Department of Transport in recent years. The ports are all privately owned and independent but we would see this as a key area where the delivery task force will need to zone in on to ensure we have all the different strands in place to expedite these developments.
