Climate Action Plan 2021: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-11-23
============================================================

Michael Healy-Rae (IND), Kerry

The Minister will not like to be told that Moneypoint and Tarbert power stations have had to reopen. Why did they have to open? The Minister did everything he could to shut them down. It was part of Green Party policy, the same as doing away with a proposed liquefied natural gas, LNG, project. The Minister shut that down. These stations had to open in spite of him and we would be in the dark here tonight if it was not for them.
