Question· writtenPQ 1125asked

1125. Deputy Anne Ferris asked the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources if he will provide an update on the offshore renewable energy development plan implementation, with particular emphasis on the status of planned wind farms off the east coast of Ireland, in view of the lack of an import export energy agreement with the United Kingdom for the foreseeable future and the growth of alternative energy sources to meet the United Kingdom's renewable and energy security demands, including Scottish wind energy, increased energy connectivity between England and Scotland and the planned increase in domestic nuclear power capacity in the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22163/15]

Question· writtenPQ 410asked

410. Deputy Robert Dowds asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation his views on the current suing of the German Government by a Swedish energy company, using an investment state dispute settlement which forms part of their bi-lateral trade agreement, for billions of euro on foot of the German Government's decision to phase out the use of nuclear energy, and whether the proposed Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership agreement between the European Union and the United States of America could lead to the State being sued in a similar manner for changing its regulatory environment or its public policy, and whether such a threat of being sued would act as a deterrent to any future Government from making regulations which were in the public interest.
