Leo Varadkar: ...our gas comes from our own supplies in the Corrib gas field and the other half comes from Britain. Most of that either comes from Britain, Norway or Qatar. The gas comes from Qatar on ships to LNG terminals in Britain and then comes across the pipelines into Ireland. Thus, while we do not have an LNG terminal, we use LNG. It just comes in from Britain rather than coming into one of our...

Richard Bruton: ...and commercial, residential and transport sectors by replacing more CO2-intensive fossil fuels. In Ireland gas powered generation also provides an important back-up for intermittent renewable wind generation. The Shannon LNG project has been designated an EU Project of Common Interest (PCI) by way of an evaluation process organised by the European Commission. The designation of PCI status...

Noel Dempsey: ...a strategic gas reserve is one of the issues to be addressed by means of an all-island study, which will assess the potential for natural gas storage on the island and the possible contribution of LNG to security of supply on an all-island basis. While Ireland does not currently maintain a strategic gas reserve, commercial reserves of natural gas are held by licensed natural gas shippers...

Richard Bruton: ...residential and transport sectors by replacing more CO2-intensive fossil fuels. In Ireland, gas powered generation also provides an important back-up for intermittent renewable wind generation. An LNG facility would further enhance Ireland’s energy security by increasing import route diversity and there is currently no plan to review energy policy surrounding the construction of...

Gary Gannon: ...know that it is a fair and just transition to a zero-carbon economy. When it comes to liquefied natural gas in Ireland, our message is much stronger - legislate to ban the construction of all LNG infrastructure and the importation of fracked gas. Nearly every environmental NGO, advocacy group and campaign group has been calling for this because we do not trust the Government's...

Ned O'Sullivan: ...Bridget will be very happy and successful in her position. The Cathaoirleach and Leader will recall that I have mentioned the importance of the project on the Shannon Estuary for liquefied natural gas, LNG, on numerous occasions. I raised it quite recently and, at the Leader's request, I submitted a Commencement motion on it. I received a welcome reply from the Minister, Deputy Denis...

Eamon Ryan: ...outcome of a review of the security of energy supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems 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. The review is focusing on the period to 2030 in the context of ensuring a sustainable pathway to 2050. The review includes a...

Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Sep 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...Gas Networks Ireland. Though this transition might seem benign, it is inextricably linked to a larger more ominous issue, which is the Government's puzzling reluctance to fully support the Shannon LNG gas facility. Let us be crystal clear. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have deceived and sabotaged the Irish public with their energy policy. Their fingerprints are all over the...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (2 Nov 2021)

Eamon Ryan: ...in the first half of next year. This review will inform future Government policy. In advance of the completion of this review, it is Government policy that it would not be appropriate for the development of any LNG terminals in Ireland to be permitted or proceeded with. This policy was set out in the Government's Policy Statement on the Importation of Fracked Gas which was...

Eamon Ryan: ...Ltd to make the full capability of its depleted Kinsale facility, which has a capacity of 7 billion cubic feet (bcf), available to third parties. Another development is the proposal by Shannon LNG to construct a liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal near Tarbert on the Shannon Estuary. The project could potentially provide up to 40% of Ireland's gas requirements. The connection of...

Eamon Ryan: ...such as those we saw this summer, early last year or early this year. We need those as well as to shut off coal plant and old oil plant, so we will use gas for this interim period. In my mind, LNG imports will not be needed to give us that security. We can and will be able to use what I see as one of the strategic options, which is using some of the distillate stored that we hold as...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Production (28 Sep 2023)

Brendan Griffin: ...the coming months and here we are heading into October and there is no sign of it. This was critical and played an integral part in the decision of An Bord Pleanála to refuse planning for Shannon LNG. The State has been opened up to potential litigation because of the process here. It does not sit well with me. This entire process requires examination. Since he assumed office in...

Planning and Development (Climate Emergency Measures) (Amendment) Bill 2021: First Stage (16 Jun 2021)

Bríd Smith: ...or businesses or challenge them. The Bill will address another gaping hole in the climate Bill the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is bringing before the House today, which is the issue of liquified natural gas, LNG, and fracked gas. Later today, we will be encouraged by the Minister and others to rejoice at the passing of the climate Bill, and although there are many provisions in it that we...

Gino Kenny: I would like the Minister to explain a reply my party member Deputy Bríd Smith got on the proposed liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal at the Port of Cork. With regard to climate action, this represents a quite substantial shift. Many in this Chamber believed that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil were moving away from the concept of LNG terminals. Let me quote material from the talks...

Bríd Smith: ...the planet. Liquefied natural gas is the dirtiest fossil fuel imaginable - scientists argue it is as dirty as coal. What we did not know in 2008 when permission was first granted for offshore LNG licences was that methane emissions from natural gas are lethal to the planet. Since we know it now, why would we extend the licences and why would a Minister say that we must shore up our...

Noel Dempsey: The question of liquefied natural gas, LNG, facilities and major gas storage facilities are matters for the market players in the first instance. I would very much welcome private sector investment in these areas. My Department has not undertaken any research in respect of the development of such facilities. I am of course aware that LNG facilities would give us access to gas from geographic...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am calling for a full and comprehensive debate on the proposed Shannon LNG terminal in the Shannon estuary. We need to have a frank and honest debate here about the provision of energy. At present, we are importing coal from Russia and Europe is importing gas from Russia and we are then talking about sanctioning Russia. We need to have a frank and honest debate here about the provision...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (13 Jan 2021)

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. The Programme for Government is clear that the Government does not support the importation of fracked gas and commits to developing a policy statement to establish that approach. This policy statement is being developed by my...
