Darren O'Rourke: ...to act on the recommendations of the energy security review, if he has assessed the environmental, social and economic impact of State-owned gas storage versus commercial liquified natural gas, LNG, if he will rule out the introduced of commercial LNG and if he will make a statement on the matter?

Michael Finneran: ...of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government assumed responsibility in January 2010 for a range of foreshore functions including all foreshore energy-related developments. The Shannon LNG proposal to construct a liquefied natural gas, LNG, regasification terminal on the Shannon Estuary between Tarbert and Ballylongford in County Kerry was one of a large number of projects for which...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (2 Oct 2019) See 1 other result from this debate

Leo Varadkar: The question the Deputy asked was whether the LNG terminal was discussed at the Cabinet committee. It was not. My understanding is that the LNG terminal could be used to receive fracked gas, but not necessarily or exclusively. It could receive any liquefied natural gas so it could be used to receive gas transported by sea that is not fracked.

Denis Naughten: In mid 2016 I met with a delegation of TDs and subsequently my officials met with other relevant stakeholders to discuss the Shannon LNG project. On 7 October 2016 I provided an update to TDs where I outlined the position. I and indeed previous Ministers have supported this project, as appropriate, given that it would enhance Ireland's security of supply. This support is in line with the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: General Scheme of the Climate Action and Low-Carbon Development (Amendment) Bill 2020: Discussion (14 Oct 2020)

Bríd Smith: ...can create a carbon capturing storage. The Bill does not deal with non-territorial emissions. Does that imply we can import emissions from abroad, in other words, liquified natural gas or LNG, which is not necessarily fracked? Does that still leave the door open for the importation of forms of LNG?

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: EU Issues (10 Nov 2020)

Eamon Ryan: The Programme for Government sets out that, as Ireland moves towards carbon neutrality, it does not make sense to develop LNG terminals that import fracked gas. If the Shannon LNG terminal project were to apply for inclusion in the 2021 list of EU Projects of Common Interest, Ireland would not provide the required Member State approval and therefore the project would not be included in the...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Infrastructure (5 Nov 2019)

Richard Bruton: I propose to take Questions Nos. 843 and 845 together. The Shannon LNG project to which the Deputies refer has been designated as a project of common interest for the last 6 years. It was designated as a project of common interest in 2013 and again in 2015, and 2017. It has been supported by Ireland since 2013 as it would enhance Ireland’s energy security by increasing import route...

Tom Fleming: 137. To ask the Minister for Finance if he will include the Shannon LNG project on the Government's submission for European Investment Bank funding as the proposed LNG terminal in Tarbert, County Kerry would substantially increase security and diversity of energy supply and provide direct access to competitive gas supplies which are crucial for our economic recovery; and if he will make a...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (7 Apr 2022)

Eamon Ryan: ...of the security of energy supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems that is currently being carried out by my Department, it would not be appropriate for the development of any LNG terminals in Ireland to be permitted or proceeded with. This review being conducted is being carried out for the period to 2030, in the context of net zero emissions by no later than...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Marine Planning and Development Management Bill: Discussion (24 Nov 2020)

Ms Martina Hennessy: In terms of LNG, there is an energy security review being undertaken by my Department. A technical assessment piece must be undertaken initially and public consultation will follow. The outcomes of the energy security review will inform policy in a number of areas, including LNG. No decisions will be made on applications in that area until the security review has been...

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (16 Dec 2020)

Micheál Martin: The Deputy should take it handy. In any event, the Deputy raised renewables and that is my response. Renewables are very important. I am not aware of how advanced the floating LNG project is. The Port of Cork is engaged in operations and has contracts with particular consortia. I have heard talk about LNG for 20 years from different private sector operators but it has never come to fruition.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Feb 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I want to raise with the Tánaiste the provision of the Shannon liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal on the Ballylongford Landbank on the Shannon Estuary. A planning application is being processed at present by An Bord Pleanála. We need this terminal to have energy security into the future. We are leaving ourselves very exposed - given the current situation in Ukraine - importing...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Natural Gas Grid (5 Mar 2024)

Neasa Hourigan: 120. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment how frequently the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in a floating storage and regasification unit will need to be replenished, given the inevitable boil-off of LNG over time; where this gas will be sourced; what measures will be taken to minimise the frequency of this occurrence; and if he will make a statement...

An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (22 Oct 2019)

Bríd Smith: I will be brief. I am sure that, like the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment, Deputy Bruton, the Taoiseach is aware that tomorrow the LNG project in Shannon, namely, the fracked gas project, is to be ratified on the list of projects of common interest, PCI, in the European Union. Sweden has pulled its LNG project from the list of PCIs. I appeal to the Taoiseach to...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Electricity Generation (25 Jan 2022)

Eamon Ryan: ...Supply sets out a number of updates to national policy in the context of the Programme for Government commitments relevant to the electricity sector, planning authorities and developers. In relation to LNG, this policy statement does not change what was set out in the Policy Statement on the Importation of Fracked Gas published in May 2021. In particular, I would note where it sets out...

Seán Canney: ...the largest source of these imports, whereas the USA is of the order of 1% to 2%. The diversification of sources of supply is important for security of supply purposes and liquid natural gas, LNG, offers the opportunity to diversify supply. In Ireland since the Corrib field opened, we have reduced our dependence on gas imports from 95% to approximately 33% in 2017. However, that...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Scrutiny of Petroleum and Other Mineral Development (Amendment) (Climate Emergency Measures) Bill 2018: Discussion (3 Jul 2018) See 6 other results from this debate

Dr. Neil Walker: Exactly. Very few LNG plants have been built in Europe in the last decade because they are more expensive. They cannot compete with piped gas. The proposal for an LNG terminal on the Shannon has had full planning permission and all the consents for years. There is one reason it has not proceeded, which is that it would lose money because it not competitive with piped gas...
