Brendan Griffin: .... Yet, here we are heading into October and we have not seen the review yet. This is a long-running saga.

Brendan Griffin: ...told the Minister of State, Deputy Ossian Smith, not to blame the people of County Kerry or the rest of us if the lights go out.

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Energy Policy (2 Mar 2022)

Brendan Griffin: ...days pivoted in their position on energy security and changed their policies. In Germany, the Green Party is in government and a decision was made in recent days to build liquified natural gas, LNG, terminals.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Energy Policy (14 Dec 2021)

Sometimes we feel as though we are not being listened to. Fracking keeps coming into the discussion. We are speaking about non-fracked gas. We have to be realistic because 2030 is a long time from now. I...

Topical Issue Debate: IDA Jobs Data (4 Nov 2015)

Brendan Griffin: ...socioeconomic developments for the county in many years. We need an office to push Kerry individually. If we had a stand-alone office in Kerry, would we have seen greater progress on the Shannon LNG project in recent years? Would companies like Amann Industries in Kerry, which left in 2010, have stayed a bit longer? Could we have done something differently? The feeling on the ground...
