Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Electricity Sector (16 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: I have a question for Wind Energy Ireland first. It has identified roughly 1,300 sq. km on which new wind farms could be built. Where precisely are they?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate, Environment and Energy: Climate Change Targets 2026-2030: Electricity Sector (16 Jul 2025)

Given that ordinary consumers and small and medium businesses face an increase of 21% in the price of electricity and data centres are getting reduction, and when we take into account the 29% of families and households experiencing energy poverty, I want to look at the sustainability of this situation.

Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery: Judicial Review and Appeals Process: Engagement with Courts Service (9 Jul 2025)

Réada Cronin: I thank Ms Denning for her opening statement. There is a certain kind of negative, false narration around judicial reviews that they are blocking necessary infrastructure and that. Where would I find a breakdown of the people or groups that take judicial reviews? I believe it is members of the public, developers, landowners, local authorities and public authorities. Where would I find a...
