PQ 162
162. Deputy Ciarán Ahern asked the Minister for Climate, Energy and the Environment whether he intends on proceeding with his plans to develop a floating LNG terminal given the recent fossil fuel crisis during which the price of LNG soared by as much as 60%; whether he will instead pivot towards rapidly scaling up our renewable generation and storage capacity to decarbonise our energy sector and protect Irish households and businesses from fuel price shocks going forward; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
