Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wind Energy Generation (15 Jun 2023)

Eamon Ryan: ...environment is protected. I think we can do that. The development of offshore wind will be really good for the restoration of the maritime areas. Taking the Irish Sea, for example, we have destroyed the Irish Sea over many decades with the loss of fishing stocks, mussel and oyster beds. Looking at what has been lost in the Irish Sea, the restoration of wind power will see the...
