Development (Strategic Gas Reserve) Bill 2026: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-07-16
============================================================

Joanne Collins (SF), Agricultural Panel

I move amendment No. 11:
In page 10, between lines 31 and 32, to insert the following:
“ Review
5. Any approval granted under this Act shall be subject to review every 3 years.”.
Amendment No. 11 concerns review, in particular, a three-year review. Given Ireland's energy landscape changes throughout time, it proposes there would be a mandatory review every three years to ensure the reserve remains necessary and appropriate in light of developments of renewable energy storage and interconnection. It is really just to keep a review on it, which I do not think is a bad thing. I like a good review.
