Mr. Denis O'Sullivan:

There was reference to methane being 100 times more damaging than CO2, which is contrary to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, figures. Notwithstanding that question, we have to look at this in the context of our role in the supply chain of gas. We support the security of energy supply in the country, and different sources of gas are required to do that. It is a matter for policymakers and regulators to decide whether a particular source of gas is appropriate. We do not get involved in either supporting or not supporting any particular source. Once it comes onto our network or is presented, we treat all forms of gas in the same manner.
