Danny Healy-Rae (Kerry, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Members of the Minister's Government have said they have secured four or five gas-fired generators to complement our capacity to generate electricity this winter.

Where are we going to get the gas from? To this end, I am asking the Minister and his Government to support Shannon LNG's application for a terminal in the Shannon Estuary. The Taoiseach promised to support this application during the last election when he was canvassing north Kerry with Deputy Foley. Will he support this application or not? The position we are now in with gas coming from Russia and different places means that security of energy is vital for the people of this country.
