Ireland's Dirty Little Energy Secret

Ireland is facing an estimated €26 billion climate compliance costs linked to missed carbon targets. In this episode of In The Gaff, Denis Duff, Chartered Engineer and electricity generation specialist and co-founder of '18 for 0' joins Tiff to examine whether nuclear power should form part of Ireland’s decarbonisation strategy. This discussion centres on the financial impact of failing to meet emissions targets and the broader economic consequences of energy policy decisions. Nuclear is not presented as a silver bullet, but as a tool that could make decarbonisation significantly more manageable by providing reliable baseload power alongside renewables. The episode also addresses public concern directly. The point made in the conversation is simple: policy should be guided by evidence, not avoidance. When the stakes are this high, the cost of properly understanding the facts is far lower than the cost of getting it wrong. For those in construction, engineering and infrastructure, this is a serious conversation about evidence-based policy, long-term planning and national competitiveness. If you’re leading an AEC, engineering or infrastructure firm navigating policy, ESG and market uncertainty, positioning matters.
