Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan
Dail Éireann — 2023-02-28
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

Will the Minister comment on reports at the weekend that floating wind generation may be placed on the long finger? Many companies are worried about this. This question is about fixed-bottom offshore wind infrastructure for power generation, and the ambitions and development timescale for same.
The Minister might also address the really topical matter of the floating offshore wind turbines. There is genuine concern they are being put into a so-called phase 3, with a very long timescale. It is crucial this be addressed and clarified.
