Following discussions with industry members, the Chamber is concerned that the Broad Area of Interest off County Clare is too small, too shallow and too close to the coast, among a number of other issues.

Ennis Chamber CEO, Margaret O’Brien says the development of Floating Offshore Renewable Energy is as an economic game-changer for County Clare, and she insists it’s important to get policy right from the outset.
