- Security of Electricity Supply: Motion [Private Members] (15 Sep 2022)
Cathal Berry: ...pumping it into the caverns and extracting it and selling it on the market in winter when the gas was expensive. The concept is sound and makes sense. Second, I refer to liquified natural gas, LNG. I appreciate the Minister and his party have concerns about LNG but I think those concerns are surmountable. We can put in check and quality control mechanisms to ensure that it is not...

Michael McNamara: ...term but it was an attempt to meet the demands of this State. I have heard nobody explain how we are going to meet the demands now. I have heard people ruling out stuff. The Minister has ruled out an LNG base. Like him, I do not want to see fracked gas coming to Ireland but we must have gas storage, especially if our only source of energy when the wind is not blowing is going to be gas...

Carol Nolan: ...thousand of euro drop through the inbox or on to the mat of many homes that are struggling to survive. Instead of adopting even an interim approach with respect to fossil fuels and liquefied natural gas, LNG, this Government has decided to push ahead with unworkable, unsustainable and unforgivable policies that are damning our people to a perilous few years and for what? To reach some...

Michael Fitzmaurice: ...people do not know, and we could have used it there. I am not saying we should use it forever but we need to take ourselves out of the storm we are in at the moment. There is obviously a quick win in LNG. We should do as the rest of Europe is and have a store for that as well. We should decide now that we are not going to listen to the civil servants who have brought us down these...

Bríd Smith: ...year and next year will gobble up a huge amount of the energy we need. The surge in demand from data centres is wholly unacceptable. We cannot continue to connect new data centres to the grid. LNG goes to the heart of why we should start by saying we do not have a gas supply problem. The Brits will not cut off Moffat tomorrow. If a lightning storm struck Moffat then we might get...
- Security of Electricity Supply: Motion [Private Members] (15 Sep 2022)
Paul Murphy: ..., tying us into more and more years of environmental damage and increasing carbon emissions. This is not the answer. Some of the solutions put forward in the motion include acquiring an LNG terminal in either Cork harbour or the Shannon Estuary, repowering the controversial Derrybrien wind farm, and reopening power plants in the midlands to burn biomass, with this biomass sourced from...
- Security of Electricity Supply: Motion [Private Members] (15 Sep 2022)
Ivana Bacik: .... I know that the Minister of State did not refer to it in his opening remarks, but I am talking about the issue of storage and, in particular, suggestions in some quarters that we need floating LNG storage. I will say this on behalf of Labour. While we await the energy review report, to which the Minister of State has referred, we do not believe we need to see floating LNG terminals....

Michael Lowry: ...of soaring energy prices; — allow for extra flexibility in the procurement of new electricity sources outside the RESS; — immediately decouple the link between gas prices and electricity prices, which are inflating electricity prices, whether generated by natural gas or not; — acquire through Gas Networks Ireland a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal...
