Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: International Agreements (1 Jun 2022)

Lynn Boylan: ...next month, it will not address the biggest issue with this treaty. Ireland is looking at introducing seven temporary gas-fired power plants and there is potentially planning permission in for an LNG terminal in Shannon. They will all be protected by ISDS for years.

Having said that, we welcome it greatly. We...

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...this Chamber that the answer to our energy needs is drilling for more oil and gas off the Irish coast, which would take years before an appropriate location was found. It has been suggested that LNG might be the answer to our energy needs. It has also been suggested that perhaps we should reopen the bogs.

Bríd Smith: ...political advisers. They know it is a con. They know it is to hike up energy and fuel prices for them while at the same time there is no problem with planning to locate a liquefied natural gas, LNG, operation in Shannon or elsewhere.

Neasa Hourigan: I will touch on the issue of LNG. As a source of energy, it is not particularly cost-effective and it would be economically short-sighted to introduce it.

The...

Bríd Smith: ...of power in the current climate, which he has just repeated there. I find it contradictory, however, that his colleague, Deputy Hourigan, who is sitting in the Chamber now, has put forward a Bill to ban LNG facilities in the future. It is almost as if the Minister is saying that we may have to put up with one facility at Shannon, or possibly a State-led one, but in the future we are...

If we are confident as a nation and believe we are world leaders - as we might be in the...
