Development (Emergency Electricity Generation) Bill 2022: Second Stage (26 Oct 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...unusual for a country that is in the same Europe as we are. We have to face up to realities in times of need and times of war. We will need gas for a long time into the future. We might not like an LNG terminal or putting the gas back down in Kinsale again, but we have to make sure we do that.

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (27 Jan 2022)

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...going to come from? What plan has the Government? It is lovely to talk about what the Tánaiste believes about the next 40 years. I do not have a problem with him on that, in the context of exploration, having LNG terminals or whatever. That is fine.
