Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (7 Nov 2024)

Ned O'Sullivan: When I was first elected to the House 18 years ago, I opened my record here by speaking on behalf of the LNG project on the Shannon Estuary which, all those 18 years later, is still battling its way. I know my Green Party friends have been very opposed to it. I think at this stage the courts have adjudicated on this matter. There are a huge number of jobs at stake for my region, a region...

Eamon Ryan: ...something into the planning amendment that is not the case. There is no intention in it to open the door to changing the position with regard to either fracked gas or the development of commercial LNG facilities in this country. It was purely made for technical reasons, namely to ensure the legislation would be in line with other legislation so there would not be legal uncertainty...

Eamon Ryan: ...chair the latest meeting of the Beyond Oil and Gas Alliance. There is no diminution whatsoever in our status in that regard because that misinformed view that there is some promotion of commercial LNG facilities is totally untrue and not the case. There was useful discussion in the Oireachtas during parliamentary questions last week which cleared up that we are not going to go in that...

Paul Murphy: ...;t legally designate something you oppose, or aren’t sure we need, as strategic! The contradiction is so absurd it feels like the Government is gaslighting us. He goes on to say that if facilitating an LNG import terminal getting approval is the last thing the Government does, the legacy of the Greens in government will be in tatters. That is the truth. That is the reality....

Darren O'Rourke: There seems to be a contradiction in the Minister's response in terms of considering alternatives to LNG and the amendments that were rushed through at the eleventh hour for the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2023 last week. Is the Minister of the view that LNG that does not have fracked gas can be introduced? It strikes me as very difficult to separate the two issues at all....

Simon Harris: I do not want that to have to be the situation, quite honestly. I really do not. On the issue of LNG, the Planning and Development Act 2023 restated the factual position. The Government has not taken any policy decisions in that regard. Our policy position under climate legislation, and with respect to where we want to get to, is that we want to produce clean, renewable energy and to...

Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2024: Second Stage (9 Oct 2024)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...Paulette. It is crazy beyond belief. It is obviously a gimmick. If the Government was serious about doing anything about energy costs, it would have gone back to 2016 when it supported Shannon LNG and when Shannon LNG was in the programme for Government and would have left it there. Instead it capitulated in 2020 to the Green Party and instead of supporting LNG, it went completely...

Heather Humphreys: I want to be very clear. This amendment is to ensure that if there is a massive energy crisis, we would have storage facilities for LNG if required. I am talking about a massive energy crisis. It has nothing to do with fracking. This Government is opposed to fracking. My former colleague, Tony McLoughlin, brought forward a Bill to ban fracking. This is planning for all eventualities....

Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)

Bríd Smith: ..., no matter how destructive those plans are for our environment and our communities. The Government, including its Green Party members, will seek tonight to designate liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminals as strategic infrastructure in order to stop people and environmental activists from objecting to them. The Rural Independent Group Members, no doubt, will support the Government on...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: ...the Minister. We know Seanad amendments will now introduce a class of strategic infrastructure to be exempt from normal protocols. These strategic infrastructure projects include liquified natural gas, LNG - a deeply harmful fossil fuel.

Alice-Mary Higgins: ...two are examples of where we can not only have a robust conversation that gets attention and wherein the Government takes a leap forward, but where decisions that take us backwards can be challenged.
