The EU Commissioner for Energy says Ireland has “huge opportunities to offer” when it comes to developing renewable energy sources.

If Ireland is to meet targets of reducing emissions by 51pc by 2030 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, urgent climate action is needed.

As ESB works towards its net-zero target, it will be recruiting for marine geologists, cyber specialists and a host of engineering jobs.

The BAI will provide funding for TV and radio projects that could help raise awareness of the climate crisis and support behavioural change.

80 renewable energy projects have provisionally been awarded support under the second Renewable Energy Support Scheme (RESS 2).

The MREF has urged the new Fine Gael agricultural forum to seize the opportunity presented by renewable energy for farming.

An independent TD is to table a motion calling for those with turf harvesting rights to be exempt from proposed solid fuel regulations.

A Fine Gael TD has said that his party is fully committed to ensuring there will be no end to traditional turf practices.
