This plan highlighted 4 priority areas for Government and industry to focus on over the coming months and years to s upport and accelerate offshore wind delivery in Ireland.\n4 months on\, we will revisit the Plan and the 24 recommended actions to determine where p rogress has already been made\, and where we need to increase our efforts over the remainder of 2025 and into 2026\, to deliver results\, alongside key stakeholders.\nIn particular\, this Q3 Policy Forum will provide an op portunity for members to meet\, in-person\, and as a group\, take a deeper dive into how we achieve aspects of the Offshore Wind Action Plan - to fu rther flesh out industry perspectives and positions on improving the desig n of the long-term offshore wind development pathway\, from project concep t through to commissioning.\nWe will examine and discuss the key considera tions for how to maximise the South Coast DMAP and support the National DM AP development process\, including assessing grid capacity and opportuniti es for demand growth to enable viable offtake opportunities for future pro jects.\nThe Policy Forum will be sponsored by Green Tech Skillnet.\n \ ;\nOutline Agenda:\n[Expected running order for the session.
