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...

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...

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.

Supplementary Budget for Rural Communities and Farmers: Motion [Private Members] (23 Feb 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...talking about what it has done. It has done nothing for these classes of people. Gas prices went up by 10% again yesterday and the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications, Deputy Eamon Ryan, made a submission against Shannon LNG, where we would perhaps have a hope of getting gas in from America, which wants to sell it to us, because soon we will not be able to get it...

Rising Costs and Supply Security for Fuel and Energy: Motion [Private Members] (10 Nov 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...more than ten years. The Government closed down Bord na Móna and one third of Moneypoint, only to have to open it again. It put in nothing to replace the generating stations that it closed. It is opposing the Shannon LNG project. It is telling us to buy electric cars when there is nowhere to plug them in. It is very likely that there will be no electricity to charge such vehicles...

Finance Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (3 Nov 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...tells us that it has closed down Bord na Móna. We know that. It closed one third of Moneypoint and put nothing in to replace it. It is no wonder the amber lights are flashing. The Government is opposing Shannon LNG and is telling fellas to buy electric cars. Where are they going to plug them in? Where are they going to get the electricity? Will the electricity be there when...

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 (Amendment) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (16 Jun 2021)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...of electricity will certainly increase because it will cost more to generate and transmit it. The Government will have to consider using gas. It has ruled out the Shannon liquefied natural gas, LNG, project, but we need gas in the interim because the wind does not blow all the time and energy derived from wind turbines cannot be stored. No less than anyone else, I appreciate alternative...

General Practitioner Contract: Statements (3 Nov 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... They have been together for the past five years. They brought in abortion together. They brought in the Bill championed by Shane Ross. They closed down Bord na Móna together. They are both trying to shoot down Shannon LNG. They brought in the carbon tax together. The GP service in many parts of rural Ireland, including rural Kerry, has a serious problem. When a doctor...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jul 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...hotel, where we are told food and water are now being rationed. The Kerry jobs situation has been exacerbated by the Green Party's role in the programme for Government. We will no longer have Shannon LNG providing natural gas, which was to create between 350 and 500 badly needed jobs in north Kerry, even though this company has already spent €70 million of its own money and was...

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...

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...

Covid-19 (Taoiseach): Statements (4 Jun 2020)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...getting no guidance. Someone somewhere should somehow be able to tell them and guide them as to what will be acceptable. Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil should not block the proposed liquified natural gas, LNG, import terminal in Shannon and not cave in to the Green Party. This project does not need any money from the Government, it would create many jobs and we need a second gas...

Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2017)

Danny Healy-Rae: ..., all roadside hedges should be cut all year round. Many areas have suffered huge job losses, such as Castleisland, Kenmare, Cahersiveen and Tralee. All of north Kerry would benefit if the Shannon LNG project was allowed to go ahead by the regulator over whom nobody seems to have control. Rural Kerry has been affected by cuts of 53% to the Leader programme. Worse still, we have had...
