Text
I had conversations on all renewable sources, including tidal energy, with Eamon Ryan when he was the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications. He will no longer be the Minister. I am happy to pick that up with the incoming Minister. I have to say that, in the areas that we have been prioritising, tidal energy has not featured strongly. We want to ensure that we push as fast as we can across areas like wind, biomethane, geothermal and hydrogen. Renewables will not come from a single source, so we have to examine all opportunities for them. I am content to go back to officials to see where the assessment is with regard to the tidal programme, but, as I say, we have been putting significant effort into those other sources.
