Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Liquefied Natural Gas and Oil Prospecting: Discussion (30 May 2023)

Christopher O'Sullivan: I thank Mr. Molnár for his opening statement. I will move as quickly as possible as I only have two minutes. In his expert opinion, does Mr. Molnár believe LNG could mitigate Ireland's security of gas supply? I would appreciate if he could answer that in about 40 seconds, as I have a follow-up question.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Liquefied Natural Gas and Oil Prospecting: Discussion (30 May 2023)

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...like the idea of opening up storage at the Old Head of Kinsale field. In respect of what we are already getting through the UK, 35% of total gas demand in the UK comes from liquefied natural gas, LNG, according to a recent government report. Some 80% of Ireland's gas, as I have already said, is coming from the UK. That means therefore roughly 25% of gas is already coming from LNG....

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (11 May 2022)

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...this Chamber that the answer to our energy needs is drilling for more oil and gas off the Irish coast, which would take years before an appropriate location was found. It has been suggested that LNG might be the answer to our energy needs. It has also been suggested that perhaps we should reopen the bogs. I am not talking about the turbary rights where Deputy Cowen has fought for the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Challenges: Discussion (29 Mar 2022)

Christopher O'Sullivan: I thank the witnesses for their opening statements. I was concerned last year when the CRU attended a meeting of the committee and would not rule out the future building of LNG terminals or infrastructure of that sort in Ireland. Today it seems there is even stronger advocacy of the building of LNG terminals to ensure energy security. The reason I am concerned is that this comes in the...

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...on the Greenlink interconnector in 2024 and on the Celtic interconnector in 2027. Surely, by the time they are in place, they will give us the security we need before we go down the route of LNG terminals.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy - Ambition and Challenge: Discussion (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...House such as that in order to ensure energy security, we should look at doing things like reopen the bogs, encourage the return of peat-powered energy stations, build liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminals, and ramp up oil and gas exploration of our own coast. These are all approaches with which I fundamentally disagree, by the way, and from which we should stay clear. I believe we...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals (22 Feb 2022)

Christopher O'Sullivan: ...the proposals and strategy going forward. My fear is that we are potentially leaving two gates open, the first one being to grey hydrogen and the second to the importation of fracked gas through LNG infrastructure, in general. In his opening statement, Mr. Regan referred to the importance of gas storage in the context of energy security. There certainly has to be a place for gas...
