@Marineireland @vcummins24 @ShannonFoynes @Dept_ECC Incredible engineering at massive scale.

What space / depth is required for the port constructing / assembling these?

Basic maths would suggest 100 of these per GW capacity.
Irish govt indicates 15GW of floating ORE by 2040 ... so 1,500 of these!
Where's the port investment?

@Marineireland @principlepower @mark_mellett @mikebrunicardi @naval_service @tonyoceanork @MaritimeReg @Dept_ECC @PortofCork @IrishMainport @vcummins24 PS. The picture above shows a huge 10MW platform. However, it's increasingly likely that 15MW turbines (or even larger) will be the industry standard by the time floating projects are being deployed in Irish waters.

@Marineireland @principlepower @mark_mellett @mikebrunicardi @naval_service @tonyoceanork @MaritimeReg @Dept_ECC @PortofCork @IrishMainport @vcummins24 Ireland needs new, specialised, ports to deliver offshore renewable energy at scale. The country's existing ports also need further investment to handle the needs of a rapidly growing island economy, including onshore energy. A revised National Ports Strategy is long overdue.

@EmmaBWaldron If not now, when?

[Emma Waldron Chen @EmmaBWaldron]

In 1984 the GDB of Ireland was €20bn

Today the GDP of Ireland is €600bn

This is the fastest growth rate of any country in 40 years. Yes that includes China.

But there’s are 2 problems…

1. Irelands infrastructure hasn���t scaled with its economy (housing, transport etc)

2. 80% of Irelands GDP is created by multi-national companies

Multi-nationals were encouraged to set up in ireland by the Haughey administration and is responsible for Ireland’s incredible growth over the last 40 years.

It was a crucial and necessary first step to kickstart the economy in Ireland and to build important networks in tech and pharma.

Now that we have two generations of highly educated and savvy individuals we need to focus on creating our own companies, not just providing workers for other countries companies.

Why is this important?

There’s a great analogy in startups.. when you’re building a company and a major component relies on a 3rd party it causes huge risk to your company. If they go bust what do you do? If they raise their prices beyond what you can pay what happens your company?

If multi-nationals pull their companies from ireland what do we do? We’ve seen this happening over the last number of years but I don’t think the magnitude of the issue really has made its way to the forefront of the national media so folks don’t realize how important it is.

So what can we do to protect ourselves from this given that 80% of our wealth comes from multi-nats?

Ireland has a $50bn sovereign wealth fund that can be used to generate wealth for the country that can we reinvested into Irish founders and infrastructure. But will not if focused on limiting/regulating tech which is the fastest growth sector in the world.

We need to get rid of the tall poppy culture.

Let people dream big. Support people who want to change the world and believe that they can.

Encourage progress and let go of the conservative fear-based mindset.

Look at existing companies in Ireland like Stripe, Google and soon Open AI to find talented people to invest in.

Stop regulating away tech’s future (data privacy / ai / crypto)

Invest in nuclear the cheapest and safest form of energy (not esg which the data has proven to have terrible ROI)

Build small towns with lots of housing along commuter train lines into the city so young people can get housing close to Dublin where the jobs and existing networks are

Standardize more favorable term sheets for irish startups

Encourage angel investing with tax incentives

If we do this, maybe the next trillion dollar company will come out of Ireland creating jobs and stimulating the economy from within.

All it takes is a simple mindset shift.

My colleagues bike was stolen from Lapps quay this afternoon. Please keep an eye out for it. #cork @CorkCyclingCrew

@nathan_day You don't ask for much ���

[Rosscoe Deasy @DeasyRosscoe]

@timoconnorbl @CorkCyclingCrew Nice setup. I have an @xtracycle 'free radical' that performs a similar function. It moves the rear wheel about 30cm backwards and adds huge load capacity within the lengthened wheelbase. It turns a standard bike into an SUB. @xtra_gallery

@AfloatMagazine As event organisers, we recognise that nothing would happen without the efforts of so many dedicated volunteers. Thank you again for such a special season in 2022. #VolvoCorkWeek #RoyalCork

[Rosscoe Deasy @DeasyRosscoe]

@sendboyle Excellent stuff. Looking forward to an educational stroll around the parish. When/where will these be available?

[Rosscoe Deasy @DeasyRosscoe]

@CorkCyclingCrew @Munsterrugby @PaircUiCha0imh Lights all charged up & the four of us will be cycling to the game. Another part of the adventure for the kids.

We also cycled to the county final - the inadequate racks were full, with plenty more bikes locked up around PuC. The demand is real, where are the facilities?

A masterclass in real world data visualisation from @ByDonkeys.

Simple, effective, and absolutely devastating.
