Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Energy - Ambition and Challenge: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Mark Foley:
I am trying to figure out my notes about what Deputy O'Sullivan asked. I think we should double down on the climate action plan and deliver the renewables proposition, but we need gas. The Minister's study on security around gas is a very important piece of work. We look forward to what that will say in terms of protecting Ireland's security. The renewables pipeline is incredibly healthy and very powerful and it will get delivered. We have just got to make sure we have enough gas. We will clearly support whatever Government policy and security study is going to emerge in that regard but we must make sure we have enough gas. We have no comment to make on bogs. That is history stuff. Let us make sure we have enough gas.
