Mr. Pat Keating:

There was a ports policy statement exactly to that effect, which was in December 2021. That strongly promoted a multi-port approach basically because of the size of the resource, and proximity to the resource is important from a port point of view. It is just that Ireland is so fortunate to have a huge exclusive economic zone, EEZ. Even with the infrastructure we are promoting in the Shannon estuary, for example, by implementing all our phases, and because the supply chain almost becomes the constraint and not the resource, we can build out 30 GW from wind farms by 2050. If we look at European demand, it is put at 450 GW by 2050. That resource and energy is absolutely needed in the European context. To be honest with the Deputy, there are probably not enough ports in a way given the scale of it. That is the huge opportunity. As a country, we are extremely fortunate that is on our doorstep.
