Richard Bruton: ...such a study and where I am satisfied that such a project fits in with that, that I would support an application for funding. All the advice I have received from experts is that having access to LNG is an important supplement to our security of supply and that we should have that.

Catherine Murphy: ...to a parliamentary question on this subject late last year, the Minister tried to keep his hands clean by telling me the Government's stated aim was to move from a fossil fuel based system.

Eamon Ryan: ...Europe. The UK is also exposed because its security of supply depends on gas imports from the Continent. For this reason, I do not buy the argument on security. Having observed the proposed LNG project over the years, I understood that it was dead in the water years ago because there is no economic case for it.

Last week, the Taoiseach presented himself as a champion of the environment when he addressed the United Nations in New York but the Irish State will tomorrow support Shannon LNG as a project of common interest at a key EU meeting.

Joan Collins: ...debate important policy developments. One of the most subtle and devious ways of making a bad decision is to pretend that no decision has really been made.

John Brassil: ...delivering it if elected. Today we face a debate on whether it should proceed based on the fact it may or may not involve fracked gas.

James Lawless: Fianna Fáil very much welcomes the debate this afternoon on LNG development in Ireland. It is only right that this House has the opportunity to address all aspects of this approach to gas supply and also take into account the State's climate and energy responsibilities. In the few weeks since the new parliamentary session began, we have had many debates on climate change and climate...
