Bríd Smith: ...although I would love to be in a position to welcome the announcement yesterday by the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, on behalf of the Government on LNG, I fear that like the EU, the Government is speaking out of both sides of its mouth.

Seanad: Water Quality: Motion (19 Apr 2021)

Lynn Boylan: ...it will do so. Will it be like co-living? Is the Government just going to flag it up so the companies can get their applications in before the ban comes into place?
