Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

-----not only in the development of the offshore wind within view of our shores but also in one of the most important projects EirGrid has, which is effectively the complete redevelopment of the electricity transmission grid in Dublin. That project would likely bring offshore wind energy ashore in Carrickmines, in Poolbeg and on the northside. Not only that, but we will need new transmission cables underground - they will have to be put in - to give the sort of grid we will need, not only to manage the offshore power but to make sure our electric vehicles and heat pumps can function and Dublin can function as a low-carbon electrified city. EirGrid has that as one of its top first priorities. It will be going to public consultation. I suggest the Deputy engage directly with it-----
