Cormac Devlin: Capacity generation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)

Cormac Devlin: It was good that there was a response to temporary emergency generation. We had to have some sort of capacity within the market. Mr. Foley makes the point around Moneypoint as well. How long was this temporary measure or sticking plaster meant to be in operation? Given what Mr. Foley is saying about the latest auction, if the next one does not materialise with many bidders, we are relying...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)

Cormac Devlin: Exactly. That is fine. I will focus in on Dublin because Mr. Mahon mentioned powering up Dublin in his opening remarks. Mr. Mahon mentioned the Blackrock to Poolbeg connection. I thought Carrickmines was included that. Is that in the next phase or is that in the planning process? What stage is Carrickmines at?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: General Oversight of EirGrid: Discussion (30 Jan 2024)

Cormac Devlin: Mr. Mahon might send the committee a note on that element of it. I must commend EirGrid on the extensive engagement that was done. A lot of money was put behind that campaign and it was really well done. Obviously, there are still people who were not aware of it, but that is a different day's work. I will ask Dr. Ryan about his comments about the offshore. The Cathaoirleach mentioned...

United Kingdom Import Controls: Statements (25 Jan 2024)

Cormac Devlin: I welcome the opportunity to examine the forthcoming UK import controls. As the Minister outlined, from next Wednesday, 31 January, new requirements will be in place for agrifood businesses exporting to Great Britain. Unfortunately, these changes are a further outcome and certainly a reminder of Brexit. Over one third of Irish exports go to the UK and the UK remains the largest single...

Cormac Devlin: Would it be fair to say that around March or April, Revenue will have a clearer picture, with probably a higher rate of compliance around that point, and that the lag will relate to stragglers throughout the year?
