Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (30 Jul 2020)

Ned O'Sullivan: ...60% of electricity was generated from gas. The Kinsale gas field is almost exhausted and further offshore exploration is being ruled out.

An over-reliance on wind power is turning our beautiful rural landscape into a forest of ugly windmills. In my county of Kerry there...
