Development of a Liquefied Natural Gas Facility in Ireland: Statements (3 Oct 2019)

Mick Barry: ...than coal. Last week, the Taoiseach presented himself as a champion of the environment when he addressed the United Nations in New York but the Irish State will tomorrow support Shannon LNG as a project of common interest at a key EU meeting. Shannon LNG will be, without question or doubt, importing fracked gas from Pennsylvania. How hypocritical is it possible for the Minister and...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources: Energy Regulation (1 Jun 2016)

Denis Naughten: ...(CER), which is independent in the performance of its functions. I have no direct statutory function in relation to liquefied natural gas projects, including specific projects such as the Shannon LNG project, which is a commercial private sector initiative. An LNG facility would provide additional security of supply to Ireland, in that it would bring diversity to Ireland's gas supply...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Feb 2022)

Bríd Smith: We have a serious difference emerging between the Green Party and Fine Gael at least, as we are not sure of the Taoiseach's position, on the question of liquefied natural gas, LNG. The Minster for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, intervened with An Bord Pleanála and told it that under no circumstances should the Shannon LNG project be given planning...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 Mar 2021)

Bríd Smith: The programme for Government states the Government does believe it makes sense to develop liquefied natural gas, LNG, import terminals importing fracked gas, in light of Ireland's net zero targets. That is the formal Government position but the position on imported fracked gas and LNG is still confusing. The Shannon LNG project remains on the EU's list of projects of common interest, PCI....

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Policy (7 Apr 2022)

Darren O'Rourke: I thank the Minister. I ask him to expand on the potential implications in the context of oil and related liquid fuels. There have been reports on the prospect of liquified natural gas, LNG, usage in the context of the energy security review. We have heard different things from different parties in government and different State agencies, whether the Commission for Regulation of Utilities,...

Pat Rabbitte: ...the responsibility of the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER), which is independent in the performance of its functions. I have no direct statutory function in relation to liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, including the Shannon LNG project. Decisions on the regulatory treatment of the gas interconnectors and tariffing are statutorily matters for the CER under the Gas (Interim)...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Jul 2021)

.... When when we talk about this diversity of supply we are being quite open. We have obligations around security of supply and we must consider all options. A relationship has been drawn between LNG and certain types of gas and I am not sure that this helps the overall discussion. LNG can be and could be natural gas. Another point on diversity of supply is the type of gas that is...

Written Answers — Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation: Job Retention (24 Nov 2015)

Richard Bruton: This project falls outside of the remit of my Department. I understand that representatives of Shannon LNG have had meetings with government officials in the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to discuss various issues. Along with Government colleagues, I am supportive of the proposal by Shannon LNG to construct a LNG terminal near Ballylongford, County Kerry,...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Natural Gas Imports (8 Feb 2022)

Eamon Ryan: ...of the security of energy supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems, that is currently being carried out by the Department, it would not be appropriate for the development of any LNG terminals in Ireland to be permitted or proceeded with. While a project involving an LNG terminal may also include gas-fired generation, it is still an LNG terminal and, therefore, it...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (24 Mar 2021)

Eamon Ryan: The Programme for Government sets out that as Ireland moves towards carbon neutrality, it does not make sense to develop LNG projects importing fracked gas. It further commits to ensuring the Shannon LNG project is not included in the EU Projects of Common Interest list in 2021. I have previously confirmed that if any LNG project were to apply for inclusion on the 2021 list of EU Projects...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Policy (16 Nov 2023)

Darren O'Rourke: In terms of the timeline for this later report, will this be a floating offshore LNG facility? Does that require a change in legislation or policy? Are there inconsistencies with the approach taken to Shannon LNG? Does this comprehensive document confirm that commercial LNG is not the way forward but, rather, it should be State-led? On the McCarthy report, does the Minister accept that if...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (18 Oct 2023)

Paul Murphy: ...to zero to halt climate catastrophe. Rather than tackling the root of the problem by banning the construction of more data centres, EirGrid's solution is to construct a liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal or multiple LNG terminals. Supposedly this is to serve as a back-up when the insatiable demand of data centres for electricity overwhelms the normal capacity of the grid. The CEO of...

Seanad: Alternative Energy Projects (16 May 2012) See 1 other result from this debate

Pat Rabbitte: I thank Senator Ned O'Sullivan for raising the matter. It is important for his part of the kingdom but also for the country as a whole. I have consistently welcomed the proposal from the Shannon LNG to construct an LNG terminal near Ballylongford, County Kerry. Such a facility, together with the bringing onshore of Corrib gas, would provide important security of gas supply for Ireland. I...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Carbon Budgets: Engagement with the Climate Change Advisory Council (7 Dec 2021)

Lynn Boylan: I will not keep her long. I will pick up on the point about LNG. There seems to be a suggestion that LNG terminals actually increase security, which is not the case because those boats are sailing around and can go where they want. Surely the point is to reduce demand and the need for the gas in the first place. We keep having the circular argument that brings us back to the point that we...

Eamon Ryan: ...is a commercial operational matter for the Port of Cork Company. I understand from the Port of Cork Company that they signed a Memorandum of Understanding with NextDecade in 2017 to attract new LNG business into Ireland from the USA. Next Decade is a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) development company which is focused on LNG export projects. The Port of Cork has advised that the...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Wind Energy Generation (7 Apr 2022)

Neasa Hourigan: I will touch on the issue of LNG. As a source of energy, it is not particularly cost-effective and it would be economically short-sighted to introduce it. We should also consider the impacts on communities of unconventional gas extraction methods such as fracking and the impacts on communities where LNG terminals are located, which is an issue we very rarely talk about in this country. The...

Pat Rabbitte: I thank the four Deputies for again giving me the opportunity to address Members of the House on this important issue. I have consistently welcomed the proposal by Shannon LNG to construct a liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal near Ballylongford, County Kerry. Such a facility, together with the bringing onshore of Corrib gas, would provide important additional security in providing a gas...

Seanad: Order of Business (8 Mar 2012)

Tom Shehan: Shannon LNG is a massive project in Kerry and it is not happening. It has been six years in the pipeline, to use the pun, but the problem seems to be a pipeline. I ask the Leader to forward my request to the Minister to make a decision and to make Shannon LNG happen because it is a massive investment in the county. Tens of millions of euro have already been spent and there is a possibility...

Pat Rabbitte: ...is, in the first instance, a matter between the project developer and the relevant planning authority, having regard to the overarching policy and regulatory framework. Concerning the Shannon LNG proposal, since 2002, the regulation of the gas market has been the responsibility of the CER which is independent in the performance of its functions. I and Government colleagues have...
