My Department will be proceeding to tender shortly for the review of the future security of Ireland's access to crude oil and oil products.

The review will assess over the medium to longer term, Ireland's security of access to commercial oil supply including the necessary risk analysis. It will also address contingency planning. It is expected that the tender will be awarded by June next with a target date of end year for completion of the review.
