Tony Killeen (Clare, Fianna Fail)

There are 420 with foreshore licences and all types of approvals but they are not built. Seven have been built, the last one five years ago. That is a very important point because unless we address the engineering, port facility and connectivity to grid issues, and if we continue to throw out unfounded and ill-conceived ideas, we will not progress this issue. The debate in the House, in general, was marked by a willingness to engage with climate change issues, a capacity to understand what the threats to this country are and a capacity to see that there are opportunities.
