Select Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (6 Dec 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Paul Murphy: ...questions on foot of which I may or may not table amendments on Report Stage. Would the Minister of State be open to an amendment to say there would be no use of gas by the gas network from any LNG terminal? We should not be investing in further fossil fuel infrastructure, given the scale of the climate crisis. Would he support legislating for there being no further connections to the...

Ossian Smyth: ...is uses from the UK, with the remaining fifth being supplied by the Corrib gas field. The EU has a diverse supply of natural gas, including UK indigenous pipeline gas, Norway indigenous pipeline gas, LNG, UK gas storage and gas interconnectors that the UK has with Belgium and the Netherlands. Gas supplies are expected to flow normally this winter. The UK and Ireland are not reliant on...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Energy Policy (28 Nov 2023)

Eamon Ryan: ...Gas’ which states “pending the outcome of the review of the security of energy supply of Ireland’s electricity and natural gas systems, it would not be appropriate for the development of any LNG terminals in Ireland to be permitted or proceeded with”. The statement remains in place until the review of Energy Security has been completed in full, following...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (21 Nov 2023)

Leo Varadkar: ...hydrogen and biogas, and biomethane in particular. In the medium term, our security comes from the Corrib field and the interconnectors with the UK. There will also be a need for some form of LNG storage, either floating or fixed. That is to be determined over the next few months. With regard to new blue gas fields, no new expiration licences are being permitted by the Government...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Policy (16 Nov 2023) See 1 other result from this debate

Jennifer Whitmore: I will hone in on one element, namely, the State-led liquified natural gas, LNG, storage capacity. How will the Minister ensure that the relevant entity and its infrastructure will be fully controlled by the State? My understanding is that it is expected that it could be along the lines of a public private partnership, PPP. We have seen with PPPs across the country that while the intention...

Darren O'Rourke: ...period and the overlap between Kinsale possibly coming into use in future for natural gas or hydrogen and this floating offshore facility, does it open the door to Shannon liquified natural gas, LNG, for example?

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government (Mayor of Limerick) Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Nov 2023)

Richard O'Donoghue: .... He then quoted the programme for Government and said that it states 20%, which I accept. It was also in the programme for Government that there would not be a floating liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal, on which the Government has done a U-turn. It was one of the Green Party policies. Is it not the case that if something is in the programme for Government, it can be changed? That...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Nov 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...giving us a brief overview of his next column in The Irish Times. I raise first the electricity security review. I welcome that the Government is supporting a non-commercial liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal as opposed to a commercial one. That is very welcome for our carbon emissions targets. My main focus and the area I would like to address is the revelation shared by the...

Eamon Ryan: ...include toll reductions for electric motorbikes, hydrogen fuelled passenger cars and SPSVs, and heavy duty vehicles (trucks, buses and coaches) fuelled by compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen or electricity. I can confirm that the ‘Low Emissions Vehicle Toll Incentive (LEVTI) Scheme’ will conclude on the 31st of December 2023. Originally...

Michael Healy-Rae: ...supply of it gets shorter and shorter. I do not want to let this opportunity go without reminding the Minister of State and her Government what the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan, did with Shannon LNG, which would have given us a surety of energy in this country. He sabotaged it. He purposely, meaningfully and deliberately set out to sabotage it. The Tánaiste, Deputy Micheál...

Energy (Windfall Gains in the Energy Sector) (Cap on Market Revenues) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (18 Oct 2023)

Mattie McGrath: ...whatsoever. Do Ministers not talk to small business owners to understand the difficulties they had, even before the crisis with the oil? The Green Party and the Minister, Deputy Ryan, stopped Shannon LNG, stopped the peat plants and put concrete into the oil pipe at Barryroe, which was an act of national sabotage bordering on treason. We are cutting our noses off to spite our faces....

Paul Murphy: ...to zero to halt climate catastrophe. Rather than tackling the root of the problem by banning the construction of more data centres, EirGrid's solution is to construct a liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal or multiple LNG terminals. Supposedly this is to serve as a back-up when the insatiable demand of data centres for electricity overwhelms the normal capacity of the grid. The CEO of...

Driving Test Waiting Times: Motion [Private Members] (18 Oct 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...or locally in politics. We saw that when the Tánaiste, Deputy Martin, went to north Kerry and made promises before the last general election that he was going to support a liquefied natural gas, LNG, facility and then he turned around, the minute the election was over, and did a U-turn and abandoned north Kerry, south Kerry, east Kerry, mid-Kerry, and every part of Kerry. He does...

The 2023 toll incentive scheme is due to end December 31 2023. I am currently considering options based on the overall funding envelope available...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Financial Resolution No. 1: Mineral Oil Tax (10 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...'s houses. That has to be thought of. The Minister has a one-track mind and is hanging his shirt on electricity. At the same time, the Government stopped us getting from getting another gas from the west through Shannon LNG. It is also giving no consideration to LPG which was available 50 years ago and there are no emissions at all from that. Fellows fitted them to petrol cars at...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...up inflation but the banks can do so. The cost of gas is increasing. We had one chance in Kerry of ensuring that we would have continuity of supply, and maybe at a lesser price, with Shannon LNG but the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications stopped it. It will not get the go-ahead, even though it would have cost the Government nothing. For the people that suffer...

Brendan Griffin: .... Yet, here we are heading into October and we have not seen the review yet. This is a long-running saga. There is a strong feeling in my constituency that this delay is linked to the Shannon LNG application recently decided on by An Bord Pleanála. As the Minister of State knows, there was a strong reference in that to the delay of the publication of this particular review. I...

Brendan Griffin: 92. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment the rationale for his intervention in the Shannon LNG planning application; how many other planning applications has he intervened in since his appointment in 2020; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Mattie McGrath: ..., low pressure and shut-offs at night time. People cannot understand it. I will go back to gas. My apologies to the Ceann Comhairle. I refer to gas, gas terminals and liquefied natural gas, LNG. There has been such a breach of faith. I am leader of the Rural Independent Group for the time being. I organised a meeting with the current Tánaiste, Deputy Micheál Martin,...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (27 Sep 2023)

Lynn Boylan: ...in the planning system too. We need to have the legal timeframes recognised and complied with. Finally, while I am talking about An Bord Pleanála and the delays, I want to welcome its rejection of the Shannon LNG terminal. It was a great decision and one that recognises that we cannot lock ourselves into a fossil fuel future.
