Irish offshore wind energy hampered by many factors

The Irish offshore, wind, energy aspirations are certainly ambitious, but without the physical infrastructure to create that renewable energy and transport it around the country and overseas, those targets and goals will be meaningless.

Paul Doherty from Gavin & Doherty GeoSolutions is the author of the study and Paul spoke to Joe with more on these findings of the report.
