Wind Energy Generation
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-27
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

What is the timeline for the south coast DMAP to be approved? I hope it is imminent. There is a concern we are not moving quickly enough. I acknowledge it is a considerable body of work to prepare DMAPs and that the south coast one is the first one. However, there is a concern we are not moving quickly enough on the west coast and elsewhere. Is consideration being given to that? Is the Minister aware of that concern? Much of it relates to Ireland's role in sending a signal to the world that we are serious about offshore wind and want to be a leading player in it. That relates also to floating offshore wind. It is about the signals to those who operate in that space.
