Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (24 Feb 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I want to raise with the Tánaiste the provision of the Shannon liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal on the Ballylongford Landbank on the Shannon Estuary. A planning application is being processed at present by An Bord Pleanála. We need this terminal to have energy security into the future. We are leaving ourselves very exposed - given the current situation in Ukraine - importing...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am calling for a full and comprehensive debate on the proposed Shannon LNG terminal in the Shannon estuary. We need to have a frank and honest debate here about the provision of energy. At present, we are importing coal from Russia and Europe is importing gas from Russia and we are then talking about sanctioning Russia. We need to have a frank and honest debate here about the provision...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: The Government does not want Shannon LNG. What does it want? Does it want to paralyse the country?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (12 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: What about Shannon LNG?

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

Danny Healy-Rae: I am asking the Minister, Deputy Ryan, again here today to open up Shannon LNG. I heard the Minister last night and he appears to have no notion of doing that. I am asking the Taoiseach, Deputy Micheál Martin, and the Tánaiste, Deputy Leo Varadkar, to ensure that it is reopened.

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

Danny Healy-Rae: ...common sense to say the French, the English and all mainland Europe will ensure they have gas before they will let it go west as far as Ireland. We had a golden opportunity to have a Shannon LNG terminal on the Ballylongford land bank. The company that was behind it has invested at least €100 million in this worthwhile project. It lodged another application two and a half...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I need to bring to the Minister's attention the high level of anger, dissatisfaction and frustration felt by many people in Kerry because of two things, namely, the Shannon LNG project and the Killarney bypass. Energy security is being compromised, jobs are being lost and, in the case of the Killarney bypass, road safety is being compromised. Shannon LNG's application to An Bord...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...could have made a submission, why did Deputy Micheál Martin or Deputy Foley, as a Minister, not make a submission? Why did the Minister, Deputy O'Brien not make a submission to support the Shannon LNG terminal?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...road that have caused fatalities. I ask the Government to look at it seriously and if it is serious about looking after the people of Kerry, I want an investigation into what happened with Shannon LNG and I want the Killarney bypass to be progressed.

Taoiseach a Ainmniú (Atógáil) - Nomination of Taoiseach (Resumed) (27 Jun 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...for us. Fianna Fáil has distanced itself from the people of rural Ireland, and that was seen again in the programme for Government Deputy Martin signed up to when he signed the death knell for Shannon LNG. That is one of the reasons I cannot vote for him today. Shannon LNG was providing its own funding and had spent up to €70 million already. It would have created 300 jobs...

Security Situation in Europe: Statements (23 Feb 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...for fertiliser, fuel and gas. It is disappointing to think that the Government and Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications has gone against a proposal to bring in gas by Shannon LNG. We could buy gas more cheaply from the West and not have to depend on the east.

Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (9 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...deemed ineligible for the payment either because they were sick or had Covid. That must be looked at. Surely, the Minister will see the light there. Of course, the Government does not want Shannon LNG. The Tánaiste says he has other plans. When will they materialise? We need gas at the present time. We should be able to buy gas from the USA, or people that are inclined to...

An Bille um an Naoú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Neodracht), 2022: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution (Neutrality) Bill 2022: Second Stage [Private Members] (30 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to talk to the Russians about their proposed involvement off our shores. We need a proper navy and air force. In maintaining our neutrality, we need to have our own liquified natural gas, LNG, plant for access to gas. We should reopen Bord na Móna to ensure we have energy security until we have other alternatives of our own and not be dependent on Russia for coal and gas. It is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Charter Treaty, Energy Security, Liquefied Natural Gas and Data Centres: Discussion (resumed) (5 Oct 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ..., it appears we have an energy shortage and people may be cold in their homes as they may have no option other than electricity. Does Professor McMullin agree there is an urgent need for Shannon LNG to get off the ground and import natural gas, not fracked gas? Professor McMullin mentioned gas-fired generators for generating electricity. The Tánaiste put the terror of God in many...

Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (17 Jun 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...costly to keep it open. I am very disappointed with Deputy Micheál Martin for what he has done to the people of north Kerry. He promised them during the election campaign that he would support Shannon LNG. He has turned now in order to become Taoiseach and to get support from the Green Party. He is going to shut it down and stop the company that has spent €70 million...

Cost-of-Living Supports: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...tax out of it. Yet, as we know today, the cost of making electricity has reduced considerably. We have oil off the Cork coast and gas off the Kerry coast and the Shannon liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal could import gas more cheaply from western sources. The Government does not want to entertain that because of its green policies. Sadly, there is the VAT on the hospitality sector....

Financial Resolution: Excise (9 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...their trawlers. Parents taking children to school are suffering. What is the Government doing? It is importing Russian coal and closing down Bord na Móna. Then, the Government does not want Shannon LNG. What does it want to do - block up the country altogether?

Measures to Assist with Household Bills: Motion [Private Members] (14 Sep 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Kinsale could be probed further. Some 200 million barrels of gas and oil could be drilled out of Barryroe. The Government pays no heed to that. It refused, point blank, planning permission for Shannon LNG and the Minister is against it. That is criminal. People on the road are paying the amount of tax they are paying and then the Minister suggests that one car would do everyone in a...

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

Danny Healy-Rae: ...cornered with that because the Ministers do not want to listen to anybody. We have an opportunity in Kerry and a very worthwhile company has had a proposal in the offing for many years at Shannon LNG, where we could source gas and bring in the gas from western countries that might be inclined to sell it to us rather than dealing with Putin and others. We are in trouble with Brexit and...
