Darragh O'Brien (Dublin Fingal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Derrybrien does not have a distinguished history in regard to planning, installation, and its impact on the topography of the site and on residents in the area. It has been the subject of a very recent decision. As a country, we have been in infringement of EU directives in this space. It goes without saying that my Department and every other Department will play their part in ensuring we have the energy security we need. The case regarding Derrybrien has, in effect, been closed, but all options in regard to energy security will be looked at. My understanding is the ESB has accepted the recent decision on the decommissioning of Derrybrien. However, all options will be considered.
