Energy Infrastructure
Dail Éireann — 2025-02-20
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal East

It is a very serious proposition. If we have no energy and a major disruption to our gas supply, we need to have a reserve in place. This did not come about by any kind of deal that the Deputy suggests. It is about ensuring we have the adequate supports in place should there be a disruption to our gas supply while we are expanding renewables and increasing our interconnection, as the Deputy knows we are doing also. It is about the security and stability of our energy system for our people - nothing more, nothing less.
