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

Alan Farrell (FG), Dublin Fingal

Following on from some of Deputy Hourigan's remarks, I have a query on the supply chain after 2030. Notwithstanding what certain industry experts have said, it is abundantly clear that a target of 5 GW is achievable, if difficult. However, given the competition we will face in the race to obtain the necessary components for the offshore wind energy sector post 2030, should we start looking at incentivising the creation of a domestic industry to supply this sector? How would we do that? Has the Minister considered the matter?
