Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 April 2023
135. Deputy Marc Ó Cathasaigh asked the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications if his attention has been drawn to a request for engagement with all relevant agencies, including his Department by a west Offaly community (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18912/23]
View answerThe correspondence submitted by the deputy refers to one of a series of actions underway to ensure the security of our electricity supply over the coming winters, as per the programme being overseen by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, which has statutory responsibility to ensure security of supply, has the duty to monitor electricity supplies and to take sure measures as it considers necessary to protect the security of supply.
I would like to thank the Deputy for raising this matter for my attention which was not submitted to the planning process and I will ask my officials to request the project team responsible for this development to engage with those referred to in the correspondence.
