Last week, for the hearing on the use of liquefied natural gas, LNG, there were a number of environmental experts before the committee who made the general point that we were swimming against the tide with the policy on the use of gas.

However, we now have a situation where the Government is pushing ahead with the liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal at Shannon. This project is going ahead despite much concern and opposition.
