Eamon Ryan: ...1 November deadline set in the gas storage regulation. There was a fifth issue we discussed in the earlier session, looking at what measures we could take on global gas markets, particularly LNG markets, where we could use our purchasing power, perhaps in co-ordination with other countries, in Asia or elsewhere, to try to help reduce market prices that way as well.

Eamon Ryan: ...public consultation, which we are doing. Following that, they will be implemented as part of the energy security strategy we are following. I believe that leads us towards not having a commercial LNG facility. It still opens the possibility of a storage facility, whether floating or onshore, but it will be a strategic storage, operated to give us security in times when the gas might not...

Eamon Ryan: The report is very clear that such a commercial LNG facility was not considered as an option to go to public consultation and be progressed. Friends of the Earth is correct in its reading - it is a very simple reading, in my mind - of the report. There is a range of strategic reasons behind that. From my perspective, first, there is real risk in following such an approach. It would be...

Eamon Ryan: ...gas than other European Countries. The UK’s gas supply comes from indigenous supplies, via pipelines from Norway, interconnectors with Belgium and the Netherlands and through imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG). As production from the Corrib gas field declines, our import dependence on natural gas from the UK will increase in the near term. In light of the Ukraine crisis, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Energy Supply and Security: Discussion (30 Aug 2022)

Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Estimates for Public Services 2022
Vote 29 - Environment, Climate and Communications (Supplementary) (6 Jul 2022)

Eamon Ryan: If I may finish my point, that very high price of gas related to particular circumstances, including a Texas liquified natural gas, LNG, plant being under repair and unable to ship, as well as a threatened gas strike in Norway. That sent the price really high. The price will probably come back down. We are assessing this daily, particularly in terms of the forward market. Brent crude oil...

However, the real security risk for us is our reliance on fossil fuels, as was mentioned earlier.
