Barry Heneghan (IND), Dublin Bay North

Bhí mé ag caint leis an Taoiseach faoi seo cheana féin. Given the clear deficiencies in port capacity which threaten our ability to meet Ireland's offshore wind targets, as we discussed earlier, what are the plans to bring forward legislation amending the functions of the Irish Maritime Development Office to include a statutory mandate for planning, prioritising and advising of the funding for offshore wind energy port infrastructure? There is a clear bottleneck there. Can we commit to a concrete timeline for budget and oversight mechanisms to ensure that it becomes operational within the next 12 months?
