Seanad: Carbon Policy: Motion (19 May 2022)

Timmy Dooley: ...homes. It would be a challenge to get through planning for a nuclear reactor and we would bogged down forever. While the science might be right, the propensity for objections and the way our planning laws are constructed means it would not solve our immediate problem, that has largely been caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. LNG may have to form part of the mix in the short term....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Reduction of Carbon Emissions of 51% by 2030: Discussion (Resumed) (6 Jul 2021)

Timmy Dooley: The biggest concern I have about the LNG terminal or the facility generally is that it is new investment in new infrastructure as opposed to stretching or seeing a timeline on existing infrastructure. If we bring somebody in to invest today we hope that we only needed it for the next ten to 15 years, but with the kind of investment that is needed for a facility like that, they are captured,...

Timmy Dooley: ...scheme of things, I would have thought we should really push towards the hydrogen mix as a solution. Can the witnesses comment on that?

I suggest that any analysis be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration: Discussion (9 Oct 2019)

Timmy Dooley: In Dr. Deane's analysis, he considered the stability of the European market and resilience through diversification by virtue of access to LNG facilities in Portugal and Spain. Is that supply of LNG also from the US or is it from the same sources? I do not mean we should accept it by the back door, given there is an issue if something is built for the sake of it and there will be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications: Green Paper on Energy Policy: Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources (4 Jun 2014)

Timmy Dooley: ...which we market very strongly as a green destination from a tourism perspective. Wearing my hat as Opposition spokesperson on tourism, I would be deeply concerned about anything that might emerge in that regard. On LNG, liquefied natural gas, what is the Minister’s view on the decision of the regulator to include a cost for the gas interconnector in respect of the LNG project at...

Energy Security: Motion (Resumed) (21 Apr 2010)

Timmy Dooley: .... Much work is being done on which we must build. Discussion on the development of all-island gas security through support from the European framework for security in gas supply is helpful. An LNG plant has been proposed for Ballylongford. As well as providing for the storage of gas in the region, such a facility would add to our strategic gas reserve capacity. It would also provide...
