Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Bodies (10 Feb 2022)

Maurice Quinlivan: As I previously mentioned, I am keen to see the authority established in the quickest possible timeframe.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Departmental Bodies (10 Feb 2022)

Maurice Quinlivan: I thank the Minister of State. We all are supportive of this legislation. Granting the new authority autonomy over the appointment of its resources is necessary, as we all argued for during the course of the passage of the Bill. The power to recruit its own staff according to the skills the authority envisages to be necessary is a key component of the independence of the CEA. The...

Green Hydrogen Strategy Bill 2022: First Stage (9 Feb 2022)

Maurice Quinlivan: With its abundance of renewables, in particular offshore wind, Ireland is uniquely positioned to harness the potential of green hydrogen. Despite this, we do not have a hydrogen strategy. By comparison, the European Commission published its strategy in July 2020 and our neighbours in Scotland published a strategy in 2015. The lack of a strategy jeopardises our ability to make the most of...
