Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Sep 2023)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...Gas Networks Ireland. Though this transition might seem benign, it is inextricably linked to a larger more ominous issue, which is the Government's puzzling reluctance to fully support the Shannon LNG gas facility. Let us be crystal clear. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have deceived and sabotaged the Irish public with their energy policy. Their fingerprints are all over the...

Data Centre Moratorium: Motion [Private Members] (29 Sep 2021)

Michael Healy-Rae: ..., the Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smyth, and all in the other parties and none who supported that decision will regret for a long time. One of the aims of the programme for Government 2016 was an LNG project for the Shannon Estuary. In the infinite wisdom of Government, we now do not need an LNG project. Of course, we do. I accept that it should not use fracked gas, but there are...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (7 Dec 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...a massive opportunity. I do not necessary blame all members of the Government for what has happened, but the Minister of State knows as well as I do that a major opportunity was lost with Shannon LNG. We had a great system in place. In 2016, the previous Government, in its programme for Government, supported a liquefied natural gas, LNG, facility in the Shannon region. However, due to...

Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2022)

Climate Action Plan 2021: Statements (23 Nov 2021)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...had to reopen. Why did they have to open? The Minister did everything he could to shut them down. It was part of Green Party policy, the same as doing away with a proposed liquefied natural gas, LNG, project. The Minister shut that down. These stations had to open in spite of him and we would be in the dark here tonight if it was not for them.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (22 Mar 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: When the Tánaiste said he was against the Shannon liquefied natural gas, LNG, project, he was nearly the cause of a car accident. I say this because a number of Fine Gael Deputies and councillors headed to the land bank in Tarbert to stand there and to say that they were in support of it. Do his Deputies and councillors have that little influence over him, or does he pay so little heed...

Electricity Costs (Emergency Measures) Domestic Accounts Bill 2023: Second Stage (25 Oct 2023)

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...

Confidence in Government: Motion (12 Jul 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...go into, or are already in, homeless accommodation. I have no confidence in the Government because of that. The Government did a massive U-turn on a promise it gave before the election on Shannon LNG. I have no confidence in the Government because of that. Coal is going to cost €40 per bag. The Government's answer is stop people purchasing turf that they might be able to...

EirGrid, Electricity and Turf (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (28 Jun 2022)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...to have people racing to the bottom. Anything of any use or any good that we can supply or do ourselves is rejected because it may be harmful to the environment. In 2016 I was very glad to ensure that Shannon LNG was put into the programme for Government and it was stated as an aspiration that it would be developed by the Government.

National Oil Reserves Agency (Amendment) and Provision of Central Treasury Services Bill 2020: Second Stage (15 Jul 2020)

Michael Healy-Rae: ...an over-reliance on hitting the people who least deserve to be hit, the people living in rural Ireland. This new Government has capitulated to the Green Party in dispensing with the proposed LNG terminal at Shannon.

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (15 Jul 2020)

Michael Healy-Rae: I again condemn the dropping of the Shannon LNG project, which will come back to bite this Government and future Governments because of the security we would have had from that vital infrastructure.

He is telling everybody to use more and more electricity. What has he done about providing it? He has...
