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

The CRU has issued its paper. It bears reflection if people want to read it and tease it through. I have never believed that, when we have new technological innovations and fundamental change, you should turn your back on it, pretend it is not happening and go into some sort of cocoon where you are happy with yourself. That is not the real world. The only issue with LNG is energy security. It is not about a facility in Kerry or anywhere else. The nation has security vulnerability if anything happens to our gas pipeline. That is the bottom line that we need to address.
