The European Council assessed the action that has been taken to address high energy prices, reduce gas demand, ensure security of supply and phase out dependency on Russian fossil fuels. It is in this context that I ask the Taoiseach about his attendance at the North Sea summit yesterday. I understand there was a commitment to quadruple wind energy generation. It is suggested that Ireland could become a major energy exporter. What are the Taoiseach's reflections on the outcome of that summit yesterday, particularly in the development of our ports and the planning framework we have in place for wind energy? Is the Taoiseach satisfied that enough work is being undertaken to ensure they are fit for purpose?
