Offshore Renewable Energy: Motion Seanad Éireann — 2024-10-09 ============================================================ Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire I need to conclude my speech as well. The approval of this motion will give effect to the plan-led approach to offshore renewable development in Ireland, supported by the House in May 2023. It is a critical step towards unlocking Ireland's offshore wind potential while securing our energy independence and prosperity over the coming decades. Its approval should be considered a matter of strategic national importance. I thank everyone. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
