Because energy security is a real thing. Ireland would become dependent on the whims of foreign investors and/or purely profit motives. This may not be in their long term interest, both for stability and energy availability, and for green energy commitments.

I'm also not sure. There is something that sounds wrong here. To me, it doesn't matter where those companies are coming from. The Irish people won't profit at all if the owner of some company is Irish. The rich businessmen know how to avoid paying taxes. It would matter if the irish people itself were owning the wind turbines, but that is not being discussed here.

I would also like to add that many of the big polluters use their involvement to renewable projects as a marketing/advertisement strategy, in order to portray themselves as if they were part of the solution (energy transition), when in reality they are doing business as usual.
