Minister Naughten said: "I am delighted to appoint Ms Robins. Her appointment will add greatly to the expertise available to the NORA board, particularly at this time when NORA is developing further primary storage capacity in Ireland to enhance ready access to emergency oil stocks in the event of an emergency. Her experience in the energy sector and her ability to provide advice on strategies and project management will be hugely beneficial to the Agency."
