Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-04-17
============================================================

Lynn Boylan (SF), Agricultural Panel

I am not surprised that the amendments will not be accepted. It is a rare occasion that Opposition amendments are accepted in this House. However, I would like the Minister of State to confirm what he said about electricity and the reduction in the emissions. Will he accept that was down to offshoring, as reported by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland? It said that because our emissions were offshored to Britain due to the gas use, we did not actually reduce them on our territory. It was offshoring. That is in the official report.
