Seanad Committee on the Withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union
Engagement on Energy Matters

Mr. Padraic O'Connell:
I have one observation about gas. The Senator asked a question about LNG, which is in the UK. A lot of that gas comes from Qatar. As the Senator himself mentioned in his question, it could also come from the United States. That is outside and is part of the free trade market. This happens with gas and there are legal frameworks for it to happen. This does not happen with gas by way of physical pipelines. It happens with tankers, where one freezes the gas and ships it across the oceans.
