Energy Policy
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-25
============================================================

Paul Murphy (PBP), Dublin South-West

The programme for Government says it does not make sense to develop LNG import terminals importing fracked gas. However, the energy security review is proposing a floating LNG terminal, and we all know it is not possible to verify whether LNG is fracked. Activist groups like Not Here Not Anywhere and Safety Before LNG are vehemently opposed to this and are determined to fight against it. Whether an LNG terminal is on land or sea, it is still an LNG terminal. If it looks like a duck, if it walks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck, it is a duck, or in this case an LNG terminal. Why is the Minister going along with this?
