Wind Energy Generation
Dail Éireann — 2022-04-07
============================================================

Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

The Minister will be aware that there has been lively debate on this matter within the Joint Committee on Environment and Climate Action under its Chairman, Deputy Leddin. I would like to ask the Minister a couple of questions. When does he believe it will be appropriate to have a protected auction for floating wind energy generation capacity? When does he think it would be appropriate for Ireland to develop a hydrogen strategy? What is his view on the attitude of the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, CRU, which has indicated that LNG could be part of a strategy to develop a hydrogen sector and that we should not close our minds to it?
