Rabbitte: Ireland can easily meet European renewable energy targets
Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Pat Rabbitte, told a meeting of the British Irish Parliamentary Assembly that renewable energy was a government priority.
“Ireland’s overarching strategic objective is not just to make renewable energy an increasingly significant component of our domestic energy supply by 2020 but also to make it a significant component of our export sector. We have in Ireland a rich and abundant wind and ocean energy potential which I firmly believe can be harvested and exported as a real economic opportunity for this island,” he said.
