Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan
Dail Éireann — 2023-06-15
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I thank the Minister for his response, which will be noted by many investors who are really looking to Ireland and want confidence on this matter. With that in mind, does the Minister accept the need for greater engagement between the Government and industry? How will the offshore wind task force facilitate input from industry, specifically on floating offshore wind? The Minister might come back to me on plans for wet storage. It is very important that be clarified because a lot of work is to be done in that regard. We need to get all these parts in line. The Minister mentioned the offshore grid and EirGrid being given responsibility for it. Will private industry have any role in that?
