A Kilkee Councillor insists the scale of the investment in offshore wind off Clare’s coast should indicate the importance of exploring how the county can best capitalise from the industry.
Cillian Murphy is urging the local authority to prepare a study into the capacity of the smaller piers along the Clare side of the Shannon Estuary to offer smaller-scale services for offshore wind energy companies.
The West Clare Municipal district has confirmed it would engage with companies, however Councillor Murphy has expressed frustration with the absence of concrete details as to when this would take place.
Fianna Fáil Councillor Cillian Murphy believes any other economic development in the county pales in comparison to the promise of offshore wind.
