Today’s first 6-monthly report demonstrates that there has been significant progress across the breadth of recommendations made by the Taskforce as they relate to renewable energy, industry, transport, and tourism. This includes the establishment of the Marine Area Regulatory Authority, the development of an Industrial Strategy for Offshore Wind, a Private Wires Consultation, the publication of a National Hydrogen Strategy and Interconnection Policy, additional resources being sanctioned for key regulatory bodies such as An Bord Pleanála, the accelerated delivery of the Adare Bypass and others. It also identifies that many of the recommendations remain subject to detailed consideration across Government in recognition of their complexity and long-term focus.
