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

Carol Nolan: ...often what is needed is not the little helps, but the big and bold policy moves such as making Ireland energy-efficient and independent. One such move could have involved supporting the Shannon LNG project or other forms of industrial exploration. Instead, all we get is a disconnected and semi-utopian reliance on renewables such as wind energy, which will in all likelihood never provide...

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

Carol Nolan: ...the conclusion of the trilogue process. This, of course, is an area of policy that is causing consternation and indeed outrage. We only need to look at the bizarre decision around the Shannon LNG project, which I fully supported along with my colleagues. While this Bill may be technical, at some point we will have to have a very practical debate on the future of gas supply and energy...

Pre-European Council Meeting: Statements (22 Mar 2023)

Carol Nolan: ...result of the lack of forward planning and, indeed, forward thinking by Government, and the reckless ruling out of indigenous energy resources such as oil and gas exploration and liquified natural gas, LNG terminals. We have backed ourselves into a corner. It is, however, in keeping with EU policy of forcing through a greater reliance on renewables. As the Minister of State will...

Climate Action Plan 2023: Statements (18 Jan 2023)

Carol Nolan: ...and social gain. In this context, given the Irish energy supply and the electricity grid, there is an increasing risk of national blackouts and the most urgent imperative is the approval of the LNG import terminal.

Energy Regulations: Motion [Private Members] (16 Nov 2022)

Carol Nolan: ..., allow people to have greater measures of control over how and in what manner they choose to access energy sources. We have called for greater energy security in terms of offshore gas and LNG. We have called for urgent action in the context of reopening the power stations at Shannonbridge and Lough Ree. We know how capable of action this Government is when it wants to bring in...

Energy Security: Statements (27 Oct 2022)

Carol Nolan: ...his crazy ideas. Where were all Deputies who now complain about energy security? When the Bill came before us they were nowhere to be seen. We warned about the dangers of ruling out viable alternatives such as LNG, oil or gas exploration. The majority of Members of the House have chosen to support and pursue an exclusionary energy policy the has made our fragile energy security even...

Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Oct 2022)

Carol Nolan: ...The Bill does nothing in signalling a change in our fundamental approach to energy security, which is nothing other than a sham. Instead, the Government insists it is doubling down on renewables and refuses even to consider options such as LNG, gas or oil exploration. The power plants at Shannonbridge and Lanesborough need to be reopened. We need to have a sense of pragmatism and...

Financial Resolutions 2022 - Budget Statement 2023 (27 Sep 2022)

Carol Nolan: ...to prices. The Government remains committed to pursuing a precarious and unstable source of power in the form of renewables. It has signalled no clear switch to the funding of liquefied natural gas, LNG, or gas and oil exploration. All of this means that, through its own inaction, Government has prolonged the energy crisis for households and businesses and made it even more certain that...

Security of Electricity Supply: Motion [Private Members] (15 Sep 2022)

Carol Nolan: ...thousand of euro drop through the inbox or on to the mat of many homes that are struggling to survive. Instead of adopting even an interim approach with respect to fossil fuels and liquefied natural gas, LNG, this Government has decided to push ahead with unworkable, unsustainable and unforgivable policies that are damning our people to a perilous few years and for what? To reach some...
