Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy. I will have to come back to him with a more detailed reply. We have made considerable process in the context of onshore wind. A huge amount of our electricity, nearly 30% or 40%, is produced by means of onshore wind. We will be going offshore much more, in addition to Arklow, but it is important that it is plan-led and that we have the grid and consents. This is quite a technical area. I understand it, but perhaps not as well as the Deputy does. What I might do is come back to the Deputy in writing, once I have conferred with the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan.
