Ports Policy
Dail Éireann — 2021-12-16
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I will go back to the CCAC report about the intention, ambition and policy and the gap between those and implementation. We hear from the sector itself that the window of opportunity is narrow and that we need to act urgently to grasp the opportunity to reach our targets for 2030. We hear from the offshore wind sector, particularly the floating offshore wind sector, that it is concerned with the scale of ambition and the stated ambition in that area. We should act quickly on this, designate those ports and invest in them to harness the opportunity. What is the scale of funding that will be required and how will it be delivered?
