Taoiseach Micheál Martin is to address a renewable energy conference hosted by the Port of Galway next week.
Mr Martin will give the keynote speech at the event, entitled “The renewable energy opportunity for the west of Ireland”.
The event will take place both in person at and online from Galway’s G Hotel from 11 am to 3 pm on April 14th.
The Port of Galway says the conference will also include panel discussions on the opportunity renewable energy can play in the economic development of the west of Ireland and the national economy.
Two months ago, the Government approved a €25m investment in a deep water berth facility at Ros an Mhíl harbour, west of Galway in Connemara.
Minister for Marine Charlie McConalogue said the development would allow larger fishing vessels to berth at Ros-a-Mhíl, and would enable the servicing of an offshore wind energy industry.
The full agenda and list of speakers for the Port of Galway’s conference will be available later this week. Registration is now open here
