Clare Daly
Question:191. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources further to Parliamentary Questions Nos. 10 and 13 of 23 October 2014 which indicate that of the indigenous wave energy developers, three are attempting to develop point absorber wave energy converter devices, three are working on attenuator devices, two on overtopping devices, four on oscillating water column devices and two on power take off, if a more rational use of the State's resources with a view to developing an Irish wave energy industry providing jobs for Irish workers, would be to purchase the useful intellectual property inherent in the various technologies, employ whatever proven expertise exists in these companies and direct the ESB to lead a development programme targeting the deployment of Irish wave energy conversion megawatt size devices offshore Ireland within ten years.
