Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

I am sorry, Deputy Conway-Walsh. I was just saying that renewable energy is the key and the green transition is the key. I accept her point. One of the issues we have is the over-reliance on fossil fuel, which is important on a number of fronts. Energy security is the key one, by the way. Everybody here is complaining about the decision to have an LNG facility. It would be utterly irresponsible if we do not develop that. My concern is the timeline to develop it because we have no back-up if anything was to happen to the interconnectors. That is a big security vulnerability.
