Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Marine Planning and Development Management Bill: Discussion
Ms Martina Hennessy:
In terms of LNG, there is an energy security review being undertaken by my Department. A technical assessment piece must be undertaken initially and public consultation will follow. The outcomes of the energy security review will inform policy in a number of areas, including LNG. No decisions will be made on applications in that area until the security review has been completed and policy decisions have been made.
