============================================================

Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

As the Deputy is aware, we are not directly dependent on a supply of gas from Russia. We get approximately 25% to 30% of our domestic needs from the Corrib. The balance comes in through interconnectors from the UK and Norway. We acknowledge the important role that gas is going to play into the future as both a transition fuel and a backup fuel.
Any decision about future policy and about particular facilities should best be made in the context of the energy security review which the Minister, Deputy Ryan, is currently leading. I expect that will come to Government in the coming months.
