Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister will be aware that there has been lively debate on this matter within the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action under its Chairman, Deputy Leddin. I would like to ask the Minister a couple of questions. When does he believe it will be appropriate to have a protected auction for floating wind energy generation capacity? When does he think it would be appropriate for Ireland to develop a hydrogen strategy? What is his view on the attitude of the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, CRU, which has indicated that LNG could be part of a strategy to develop a hydrogen sector and that we should not close our minds to it?
