John Clendennen (FG), Offaly

Cuirim fáilte roimh na daltaí agus múinteoirí ó Choláiste Naomh Cormac i mo Dháilcheantar Uíbh Fhailí.
There is a concerning trend of anecdotal examples of cloud infrastructure firms choosing overseas locations instead of Ireland for new investments at a time when the sector is frustratingly awaiting the publication of the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, CRU, policy paper on large energy user grid connections. I fully acknowledge the Government's efforts to expedite infrastructural development but stakeholders across Offaly, the midlands, and nationally need clarity on this urgently to plan new investments. Could the Taoiseach confirm when the CRU will finalise and publish this policy? Will the Government ensure it is expedited to give certainty to employers and communities relying on these decisions at the earliest opportunity?
