I do not believe that oil and gas exploration off the west coast is a security response because there is no guarantee whatever we will ever find anything. The alternative would be a liquified natural gas terminal in Shannon or Cork. At our previous meeting, IBEC was very clear in its analysis that this is not a viable solution because of higher emissions and it not being economic. Does Ervia share the analysis that IBEC presented?
