Bríd Smith: 41. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if his Department has had any communication with the Port of Cork authorities in relation to their support for an LNG facility; if the authority is bound by Government policy in relation to the development of LNGs; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Energy Security: Statements (27 Oct 2022) See 4 other results from this debate

Brian Leddin: ...have been talked about for a long time and I suspect it has not been. Speaking of simplistic narratives, there is a simplistic narrative with respect to the need for liquefied natural gas, LNG, and fossil fuel storage in this country. The energy security review published in September makes clear that it does not support a commercial LNG storage facility and I subscribe to that view....

Development (Emergency Electricity Generation) Bill 2022: Second Stage (26 Oct 2022) See 2 other results from this debate

Marian Harkin: ...legislation in place but also to take emergency steps to help provide a more secure supply of energy in the short, medium and long term. We have heard of the potential for offshore floating LNG terminals but the problem is there are only 37 of these floating terminals in the world. How feasible and doable is it that we could manage one of those in the short term? One Deputy after...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2022)

Micheál Martin: .... No one saw the war in Ukraine coming and the degree to which Europe would have to reduce, very rapidly, its dependence on Russian gas and oil, with countries scrambling all over looking for LNG across the board. We import the majority of our gas from the UK, which also take supplies from Norway. Some 75% of our gas from the UK and 25% comes from Corrib. We have developed well in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: COP27: Discussion (25 Oct 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Mr. Jerry McEvilly: On the energy security review, one of the main conclusions by the independent consultants is that they did not short-list a commercial liquefied natural gas, LNG, plant either onshore or floating. Neither did they short-list further offshore exploration. Broadly speaking, they rejected these options for two reasons. First, because of the risk of emissions lock-in,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Youth Perspectives on the Circular Economy and COP27, including Climate Justice and Energy: Discussion (21 Oct 2022)

Paul Murphy: ...targets that are inadequate and now we are going to miss them. The Government, or large parts of it at least, is trying to push ahead with further fossil fuel infrastructure, in the form of LNG terminals, at a time of this climate emergency that we declared. It has overridden, undemocratically, the decision of South Dublin County Council to say it did not want any more data centres or...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (19 Oct 2022)

Micheál Martin: ...of gas storage next year. It also includes provisions to increase solidarity and security of supply and measures aimed at dampening energy prices including development of a new benchmark for trading LNG in particular, and working with member states to develop ways to limit the impact of high gas prices on electricity. Flanking measures being proposed include extension of the temporary...

.... We need increased permitting and to sort out the bottlenecks in the supply chains. I am not an expert on the Irish market, but I think both of these also apply to Ireland. The final thing is diversifying supplies. We are building more LNG capacity terminals, but these things take time. We have gotten a lot of LNG from the US since the crisis began, but we will not have enough for...

Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Oct 2022) See 1 other result from this debate

Carol Nolan: ...The Bill does nothing in signalling a change in our fundamental approach to energy security, which is nothing other than a sham. Instead, the Government insists it is doubling down on renewables and refuses even to consider options such as LNG, gas or oil exploration. The power plants at Shannonbridge and Lanesborough need to be reopened. We need to have a sense of pragmatism and...

Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Second Stage (11 Oct 2022)

Brendan Griffin: ...the making redundant of which is long overdue. I would like to see some fairness for people living in rural communities being introduced to the equation. I restate my support for the liquefied natural gas, LNG, project. I note the Minister of State is not the biggest supporter of that project, but for energy security on this island in the medium term, it is an important opportunity for...

Carol Nolan: ...to prices. The Government remains committed to pursuing a precarious and unstable source of power in the form of renewables. It has signalled no clear switch to the funding of liquefied natural gas, LNG, or gas and oil exploration. All of this means that, through its own inaction, Government has prolonged the energy crisis for households and businesses and made it even more certain that...

Road Traffic and Roads Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (21 Sep 2022)

Mattie McGrath: Yes, and lithium. Where are these mined from? The Minister has issues and hang-ups with fracked gas and bringing oil in from Barryroe. He has issues about LNG storage. Does he not mind child labour? I am shocked and appalled by the Members in this House who will not even refer to it. Child labour is used to mine cobalt for these batteries. The children are seven and eight years of age....

Screening of Third Country Transactions Bill 2022: Second Stage (21 Sep 2022)

Michael Collins: ...in west Cork, which are closing down nearly half of the week already, and we are only in September. Jobs are vital. I know people have come here with great ideas. They want to start a floating terminal in Cork for LNG, which is desperately needed in this country, but the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is kicking the can down the road and putting jobs in serious jeopardy. It is the same with...

Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2022) See 6 other results from this debate

Bríd Smith: There is no threat to our gas supplies from Britain. Reliance on Britain would only be replaced by reliance on North American fracked gas or LNG from Qatar or another similar dictatorship. I am in favour of eliminating our reliance on British and North Sea gas. The quicker we do it the better but we should not replace it with reliance on a different source of oil or gas. The war in...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Natural Resources (20 Sep 2022)

David Stanton: ...me it is worth considering and examining acquiring a floating storage regasification unit attached to the end of the pipeline that could store gas that could be hooked into our system. It would be LNG that did not come from fracking. It would not increase the amount of gas we use but would give us some insurance in the event of the other supplies being reduced.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: EU Meetings (20 Sep 2022)

Eamon Ryan: ...1 November deadline set in the gas storage regulation. There was a fifth issue we discussed in the earlier session, looking at what measures we could take on global gas markets, particularly LNG markets, where we could use our purchasing power, perhaps in co-ordination with other countries, in Asia or elsewhere, to try to help reduce market prices that way as well. That did not...

Bríd Smith: New Fortress Energy has set up the Shannon LNG Limited company and paid Kerry County Council more than €4 million as a development contribution for widening the road to Tarbert, €2 million of which was paid even before the planning permission application was lodged. The question then is whether Kerry County Council now owes this money and whether it is liable to pay it back to...

Eamon Ryan: ...2021. The policy statement provides that, pending the outcome of the review of the energy security of Ireland’s gas and electricity systems, it would not be appropriate for the development of any LNG terminals in Ireland to be permitted or proceeded with. As set out in the National Energy Security Framework, which was published in April 2022, a review of the energy security of...

The policy statement provides that, pending the outcome of a security of supply review, it would not be appropriate for the development of any LNG terminals in Ireland to be permitted or proceeded with.
