Energy Policy
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-27
============================================================

Bríd Smith (PBP), Dublin South-Central

The Minister has now twice made comments that have held the door open to the building of an LNG facility here in the State. I wish to give the Minister an opportunity to state quite clearly his, the Government's and the Green Party's position concerning the building of an LNG facility. I ask this because this aspect begs another question of whether the Minister accepts the report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, and the statements of the International Energy Agency, IEA, in this regard. Instead of creating ambiguity, will the Minister please clearly answer the question regarding intentions regarding an LNG facility in the State?
