The cross-departmental nature of this project requires that there be cohesion between Departments in how we address it. Clearly, offshore wind generation is a priority for our country in meeting our renewable and decarbonisation targets. That must be kept front and centre in all decisions that are made. I am not aware of the specific details of the project but I will engage with the Minister with a view to progressing it. I do not know whether the officials are supportive of it, but I certainly will look into that, even for my own knowledge. The possibilities are good and it is always important to support job creation in areas like Ros an Mhíl and elsewhere in the west of Ireland. I am happy to engage further with the Senator if I get any more information.
