Natural Gas Imports
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-15
============================================================

Darren O'Rourke (SF), Meath East

I wish to ask the Minister what the Government's position on LNG is and whether the position has changed from the position outlined in the programme for Government that the Government does not support the importation of fracked gas and that "we do not believe that it make sense to develop LNG gas import terminals importing fracked gas." What are the implications the development of an LNG terminal of any sort would have on Ireland's climate targets and will the Minister make a statement on the matter?
