Annual Transition Statement: Statements (15 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: We have seen over the past number of decades, and especially in the recent past, the need for progressive climate action. We hear it from our children and, for those of us lucky enough to have them, from our grandchildren. Thankfully, the debate has largely shifted from one about personal responsibility to a whole-of-system approach. The public at large are doing all that they can and more...

Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I commend the work of my colleagues, an Teachta O’Rourke and Senator Boylan. They have consistently put forward solutions that will work and have been consistently constructive in the face of a Government that is becoming more out of touch with every day that passes. It is some years now since Frances O’Grady, the outgoing head of the British Trades Union Congress, TUC,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Offshore Renewable Industry Forum and Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industry: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank all our guests for attending. Interestingly, it seems that Ireland's potential for offshore energy generation is envied by a lot of Europe but we are just not quite there. On floating offshore energy generation, I understand the ESB has stated "Ireland needs a ring-fenced auction for 1 GW of floating offshore wind" to begin to harness the potential of the seas off our southern and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Offshore Renewable Industry Forum and Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industry: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: This technology then is specifically for the west and south coasts of Ireland and it will be fixed-bottom wind energy for the east coast. Why?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Offshore Renewable Industry Forum and Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industry: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I wish to talk specifically about the east coast. Some people say that fixed-bottom technology is available and cheaper and that the east coast is not suitable for anything other than fixed-bottom wind farms. They also say that fixed-bottom wind farms have to be closer to shore and floating ones can be farther out, which is a point on which I would like Mr. Cunniffe to comment. He will...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Offshore Renewable Industry Forum and Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industry: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: I am concerned that the Government has no plans to implement floating technology until after 2030. That will be a missed opportunity. The port co-ordination group does not include representatives of the offshore wind energy industry. Does Mr. Cunniffe have any idea as to why that is the case? Has the industry been given a reason for being left out of the group?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Offshore Renewable Industry Forum and Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industry: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: That would be valuable. Thousands of jobs were mentioned - of course, everyone's ears pricked up - but that figure was boiled down to 80 jobs at each port plus a benefit for its community, which does not exactly sound like thousands of jobs. What is the scope for jobs? Mr. Cunniffe will not be able to give us the exact numbers, but will he give us an idea of the potential and what we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Offshore Renewable Industry Forum and Ireland’s Offshore Wind Industry: Discussion (15 Jun 2022)

Louise O'Reilly: They have smashed the target of 30,000 jobs, which is brilliant. We cannot say that often enough or loud enough. Could Ms O'Connell provide us with information about the type of jobs, who is doing them, wage rates, trades and non-trades, etc.? I have one more question.
