Simon Harris (Wicklow, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As the Deputy knows, at the moment, around 80% of our gas supply comes from two pipelines with the UK. If anything were to happen with one of those pipelines, we would all know about it in terms of very serious consequences. We need to have an insurance policy in place. That is the responsible thing to do. The Minister, Deputy O'Brien, is examining this area and will bring proposals to the Government shortly. It is in this context of energy security that LNG is being considered, but it is from the point of view of a State-led strategic emergency gas reserve to provide the resilience required. I will ask the Minister to get back directly to the Deputy on the specific report she mentioned.
