Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I endorse everything the Deputy has said with regard to the Port of Cork. It has applied for funding under the 2023 call on the EU's Connecting Europe Facility fund. The Department of Transport worked closely with it on that application. That would give it up to 30% of the cost of infrastructure investment works in this space. A decision on that will be announced this month. We will continue, through the offshore wind delivery task force and our colleagues in the Department of Transport and the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications, to engage with the Port of Cork to ensure the resources it has in place will be maximised. I have no doubt that the Minister, Deputy Burke, has engaged with the IDA on the other proposal.
