As I said, the Planning and Development Bill has to go through its process. What final text, wording or amendments are debated or discussed is not under my remit. One thing I have been clear on right from the start in this issue of how we provide energy security for our people is that it is not in any way warranted to see the development of a commercial LNG facility that is not in the strategic interest of the State to deliver energy security but is instead designed to expand or increase the volume of gas consumed or sold.
