Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 May 2023
524. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if "Future Energy Ireland", a joint venture between Coillte and the ESB, is required to report to him; if Future Energy Ireland falls within the remit of the Freedom of Information Act 2014, section 6(1); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22654/23]
View answerFuturEnergy Ireland is a joint venture between Coillte and ESB that was formed in 2021 with the ambition of developing more than 1GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. The Board of FuturEnergy Ireland consists of representatives from Coillte and the ESB together with an Independent Chair.
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2014 it is the responsibility of each organization to form its own view as to whether the Freedom of Information Act applies to it based on the criteria set out at Section 6(1). We have therefore referred your query to Coillte for direct reply to you on this matter.
