I would appreciate if the Minister of State came back on this. I could have read that response, because it is exactly the same as a written response I received a number of weeks ago.

This is something I have been pursuing, month after month and season after season, in the Dáil at Question Time. I am deeply concerned about this. What I am hearing from the Government is that we have a task force for the delivery of onshore renewables; we have a ports co-ordination group; and we are pointing ports towards highly competitive funding and encouraging them to meet with developers. We are also engaging with ISIF and the EIB. There are engagements ongoing but none of this indicates that we are in control of this or that we are going to meet targets and be ready to deliver on this infrastructure, which is desperately needed. In the Minister of State's engagement with ISIF, the EIB and the EU Commission, what is being said on both sides?
