When will we see wind turbines in the Irish Sea which is the easiest place to put offshore energy at the moment or where there has been most advancement? When will we see turbines turning and producing electricity? All of these strategies and plans will not produce electricity. What will produce it are turbines connected to the grid. A recent reported stated that there was only one port in Ireland, in Belfast, fit to service this industry. When will we get a ports policy for the offshore wind industry? Is all of the coast relevant to this? The Minister mentioned Sceirde Rocks. Will the west coast of Ireland be covered by this ports policy?
