Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006: Committee Stage.
4:00 pm
James Bannon (Fine Gael)
The Seventh Schedule contains a list of projects related to petroleum, natural gas pipelines or crude oil refinery. However, the media reported earlier on the possibility of nuclear energy being brought to the State via a pipeline from the continent. Will the Minister give an assurance that such power is excluded under the Seventh Schedule? I hope there is no way this can be done through a back door and I am concerned about this. A Fianna Fáil Member informed me about this news report. Will the Minister update the House on the development of a nuclear energy pipeline?
