Joint Oireachtas Committee on Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Gas Networks Ireland's Vision 2050: Discussion (15 Oct 2019)

Bríd Smith: ...O'Sullivan is probably right on that figure and I do not meant to correct him. However, we discussed specifically last week the emissions from fracked gas from North America, which is what Shannon LNG intends to import. The evidence Professor Howarth gave seems to contradict what Mr. O'Sullivan is saying. The professor indicated that emissions are extremely high and that the fracking...

Written Answers — Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment: Electricity Generation (10 Oct 2019)

Bríd Smith: 226. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment his views on the inclusion of the Shannon LNG project on the projects of common interest list compiled in Brussels on 4 October 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [41393/19]

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Hydraulic Fracturing Exploration: Discussion (9 Oct 2019)

Bríd Smith: Yes. We are going to close Moneypoint, which burns coal to produce energy and is just up the road from the location at which the proposed LNG facility is to float. I ask all the scientists here whether it makes sense to close a coal-burning depot and import LNG. While Ms Walsh has made a good submission, she has not gone into detail on some of the human impact on communities. I refer to...

Development of a Liquefied Natural Gas Facility in Ireland: Statements (3 Oct 2019)

Bríd Smith: ...actor Mark Ruffalo, film maker Michael Moore, and the chief of the Powhatan Renape Indian nations, Dwayne Perry. I hope they will be listened to. There should be no mystery about whether Shannon LNG will be about fracked gas, but there appeared to be when the Taoiseach said it could be any kind of gas. That is absolutely not the case. New Fortress Energy, the company that owns the...

Bríd Smith: He just went on about gas as a transitional fuel. We need the debate on Shannon LNG before Friday.

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (1 Oct 2019)

Bríd Smith: We requested at the Business Committee that there be a discussion on the importation of American fracked gas, otherwise known as the LNGs from Shannon. We made that request absent the knowledge that this Friday the energy regulator in the European Union will sign off on projects of common interest, which include the Shannon LNG project. We asked this question in September but we did not get...

Climate Change: Statements (19 Sep 2019)

Bríd Smith: ...13 shale gas sites across the European Union. Three of them might be coming to Ireland. In case people are not familiar with the description "shale gas", the term we use is liquefied natural gas, LNG. The Minister will know that liquefied natural gas is the very same as fracked gas. The only difference is that it is coming from North America, the location from where most shale gas...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Climate Action Plan: Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment (19 Jun 2019)

Bríd Smith: ...does not look at the aviation industry at all. There is no measure within it regarding the aviation industry's contribution to emissions. We are supporting new runways and the development of LNG terminals. That contradicts fundamentally the aims set out in the report. An issue that really jumped out at me is the absence of any attempt to put the burden of dealing with the crisis on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action: Third Report of Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Mar 2019)

Bríd Smith: .... I would like us to give a brief to the incoming committee to deal with that and look at it carefully. The main concern of the heads of Bill is the storage facilities - the liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal - rather than renewable wind energy. We should make that point to the incoming committee.

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Infrastructure (18 Sep 2018)

Bríd Smith: The planning permission for an LNG terminal at Ballylongford has been extended by An Bord Pleanála for five years. It was due to expire in 2018. Compared with when that planning permission was first given, we now know more about the dangers of LNG, the way that fracking is conducted in North America and the damage the latter does to the environment and the planet. As such, it is...

Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Energy Infrastructure (18 Sep 2018)

Bríd Smith: ...the planet. Liquefied natural gas is the dirtiest fossil fuel imaginable - scientists argue it is as dirty as coal. What we did not know in 2008 when permission was first granted for offshore LNG licences was that methane emissions from natural gas are lethal to the planet. Since we know it now, why would we extend the licences and why would a Minister say that we must shore up our...
