Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

As Taoiseach, I would rarely intervene in decisions An Bord Pleanála has to make. I never do, in any event, as a public representative. The Government policy statement, which was approved and published on 18 May 2021, sets out that the Government does not support the importation of LNG fracked gas. That is the policy statement on the importation of fracked gas. The Deputy is probably familiar with that statement. I do not need to read it in detail here because I do not think I have the time to do so. That outlines the position.
