A landmark moment was reached this week on the Celtic Interconnector project, as laying of the submarine cable commenced on the key energy project linking the electricity grids of Ireland and France. The next phase of the project was signalled by the arrival of the specialist marine vessel Calypso, which will lay the high voltage direct current (HVDC) cable for the project, which is being developed with EirGrid and its French equivalent, Réseau de Transport d'Electricité (RTE) and co-funded by the EU Connecting Europe Fund. When complete, it will be the first interconnector between Ireland and continental Europe, travelling from east Cork to the north-west coast of Brittany. The vessel, which arrived from Norway into the Port of Cork, has started the cable laying along an 84km section of the route. When fully complete, the HVDC cable will span 500km from east Cork to the north-west of Brittany and will allow the exchange of 700MW of electricity, equal to powering 450,000 homes. The cable is being laid onto the seabed by the Calypso, with burial works done by two further vessels. The HVDC cable is currently being laid along an 84km section of the Celtic Interconnector route. The cable lay and burial operations are weather sensitive and are being carried out in summer, to align with the best weather conditions. Marine survey teams have mapped the seabed in advance of works to chart the optimal route for the cable, with EirGrid liaising with local fisheries and marine users throughout. Speaking about the marine campaign, Michael Behan said: "EirGrid is proud to welcome this latest phase of works on the Celtic Interconnector project, which really shows the progress being made on this key energy project for Ireland. This feat of engineering that will take place over the coming weeks is a testament to the collaboration, innovation and care required to deliver this critical infrastructure. We remain grateful for the continued patience and support of communities, landowners, and stakeholders as we progress this project." The cable laying installation is just one element of this strategic infrastructure project being developed by EirGrid and its French counterpart, Réseau de Transport d'Électricité (RTE). The project's onshore phase has seen approximately 10km of high voltage alternating current (HVAC) cable installed in roads, with HVDC cabling works currently being progressed. Meanwhile, civil works at the project's converter station, located at Ballyadam, near Carrigtwohill, are near completion, with internal fitouts of the converter hall progressing well.

Today, we have a guest post by Mag O'Keeffe, Vice President of Global Additive Technologies at Stryker, focused on the role technology, talent and innovation can play in enhancing Ireland's position as a global MedtTch leader. The global medical technology (MedTech) landscape continues to evolve, and Ireland has been at the forefront of this transformation. The country has emerged as a leader in the sector, attracting multinational companies and driving cutting-edge advancements which are advancing patient care. With approximately 450 MedTech companies operating across the country, the sector employs over 45,000 people, making Ireland the largest employer of MedTech professionals in Europe per capita. This success story is the result of a unique ecosystem which has made Ireland a destination of choice for MedTech companies. As we look ahead, IDA Ireland has identified health as one of the four strategic growth drivers for investment for the rest of this decade. From the development of smart medical technology to advanced manufacturing, the agency's latest five-year strategy seeks to capitalise on opportunities within the MedTech sector. In an era of rapid change, driven by emerging technologies and increased global competition, the question we must ask ourselves is: How we do we unlock the opportunities that lie ahead and enhance Ireland's position as a MedTech hub into the future? The answer lies in a laser focus on research, development and innovation. However, to ensure that innovation can flourish, we must focus on developing and embracing new technologies, reinforcing ties with academia and healthcare institutions, and investing in the upskilling and reskilling of our workforce. Harnessing the power of technology Ireland's success in MedTech stems from the presence of international and home-grown organisations that are deeply committed to research and development. Ultimately, the global MedTech industry is dedicated to saving lives and improving patient outcomes, particularly in the context of an aging global population. Achieving this requires an ongoing commitment to innovation. Companies must not only stay ahead of evolving patient needs but also integrate new technologies seamlessly. Stryker, which has been at the very heart of Ireland's MedTech landscape for over 25 years, has a track record of staying one step ahead of change, developing disruptive technologies and advancing innovation to drive meaningful change for patients and healthcare professionals. We are particularly proud of the progress we have made in Ireland in the field of 3D printing. Our AMagine Institute in Carrigtwohill is home to one of the world's largest additive manufacturing facilities. The institute is pioneering the transformation of the manufacturing process, enabling the creation of custom devices tailored to individual patients. As MedTech companies embrace new technologies and move towards alternative ways of manufacturing like 3D printing, the realms of possibility will continue to expand, and innovation will continue to flourish. The success of our 3D technology is just one example of how Ireland's MedTech sector can continue to lead by developing cutting-edge technologies. Advancements in AI, robotics and digital twin technology are some of the other technologies that the workforce within the MedTech sector will need to continue to embrace to maintain Ireland's competitiveness. Deepening collaboration between industry, academia and the healthcare sector The MedTech industry cannot thrive in isolation. It is essential to broaden the culture of collaboration that has emerged in recent years and deepen the ties between industry, our world class research community, supply chain partners and clinical colleagues. As highlighted in Ireland's Industry 4.0 Strategy, the government recognises the need to foster collaboration both inside and outside the MedTech sector. To maintain Ireland's position at the forefront of MedTech, a strong collabo...

Welcome back to don’t waste our future – a series of interviews about the past, present and future of waste in Ireland. In this episode, we look at the waste issue from the perspective of artificial intelligence or AI. I wanted to know if AI and big data could hold some solutions for reducing waste but also if AI could help lead us to a more sustainable future. I got in touch with Professor Barry O'Sullivan, who is an award-winning academic working in AI and data analytics.Barry’s credentials are expansive and his current titles include Chair, Founding Director, Principal Investigator and Adjunct Professor. In June 2018, he was appointed vice chair to the European Commission High-Level Expert Group on Artificial Intelligence.But what is most interesting to this topic is that he is also an advisor to the Computational Sustainability Network, a network of 13 universities in the US, who try to discover computing methods that can applied to sustainability challenges including conservation, poverty mitigation and renewable energy. Furthermore, Barry is a Carrigtwohill man and the site that Indaver are proposing to build an incinerator on is not far from his home so I wanted to hear his personal opinions as well.And so, in this episode I chat with Barry about population growth, why I’m wrong about my perception of the world, gamification, the sustainable development goals, self-driving cars, social dividends and retrospective negligence. Hopefully, it will all make sense in the end...
