Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration: Discussion
Mr. John McElligott:
For a project to be on the PCI process, it has to first be included in the European ten-year network development plan, which is generated by the industry. When it gets that status, it then has to be added to the Irish ten-year network development plan. The wording of the contract states that it must be facilitated as the highest priority. The current ten-year network development plan states that it is a PCI project, but does not say it has the highest priority, which is misleading.
