Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action
Renewable Energy and Port Capacity: Discussion
Mr. Tim Murphy:
On the first part and LNG in the Port of Cork, our paymaster is the Government. We are awaiting the energy security document that is to be issued by the Government. On the back of whatever the Government decides, we will take that steer. As a commercial State company, we are mandated and obliged to have enough port capacity to meet demand. We look at what the demand is in the market but, ultimately, it is up to the Government, which is our paymaster, to decide where that goes.
