Financial Resolutions 2023 - Financial Resolution No. 1: Mineral Oil Tax (10 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...'s houses. That has to be thought of. The Minister has a one-track mind and is hanging his shirt on electricity. At the same time, the Government stopped us getting from getting another gas from the west through Shannon LNG. It is also giving no consideration to LPG which was available 50 years ago and there are no emissions at all from that. Fellows fitted them to petrol cars at...

Financial Resolutions 2023 - Budget Statement 2024 (10 Oct 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...up inflation but the banks can do so. The cost of gas is increasing. We had one chance in Kerry of ensuring that we would have continuity of supply, and maybe at a lesser price, with Shannon LNG but the Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications stopped it. It will not get the go-ahead, even though it would have cost the Government nothing. For the people that suffer...

Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) (27 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...common sense to say the French, the English and all mainland Europe will ensure they have gas before they will let it go west as far as Ireland. We had a golden opportunity to have a Shannon LNG terminal on the Ballylongford land bank. The company that was behind it has invested at least €100 million in this worthwhile project. It lodged another application two and a half...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: I need to bring to the Minister's attention the high level of anger, dissatisfaction and frustration felt by many people in Kerry because of two things, namely, the Shannon LNG project and the Killarney bypass. Energy security is being compromised, jobs are being lost and, in the case of the Killarney bypass, road safety is being compromised. Shannon LNG's application to An Bord...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (21 Sep 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...could have made a submission, why did Deputy Micheál Martin or Deputy Foley, as a Minister, not make a submission? Why did the Minister, Deputy O'Brien not make a submission to support the Shannon LNG terminal?

Danny Healy-Rae: ...road that have caused fatalities. I ask the Government to look at it seriously and if it is serious about looking after the people of Kerry, I want an investigation into what happened with Shannon LNG and I want the Killarney bypass to be progressed.

Environmental Protection Agency (Emergency Electricity Generation) (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (7 Mar 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: .... The Planning Regulator shot down the County Kerry county development plan so that he can go ahead with wind turbines very close to houses. That is wrong. The Government is against Shannon LNG in north Kerry. Maybe we could get gas cheaper from the west, that is, from America or other places, but the Government is against that. The Taoiseach stopped the offshore licences for...

Cost-of-Living Supports: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Feb 2023)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...tax out of it. Yet, as we know today, the cost of making electricity has reduced considerably. We have oil off the Cork coast and gas off the Kerry coast and the Shannon liquefied natural gas, LNG, terminal could import gas more cheaply from western sources. The Government does not want to entertain that because of its green policies. Sadly, there is the VAT on the hospitality sector....

Danny Healy-Rae: What about Shannon LNG?

Electricity Costs (Domestic Electricity Accounts) Emergency Measures and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (11 Oct 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...these places could be utilised way more. Shannonbridge was closed down and every day since then the cost of electricity has gone up day after day. The Government will not allow us to open Shannon LNG or Barryroe. The Corrib gas field could be explored more deeply and the Kinsale gas field could be used as storage. We need to reverse the decision of the Tánaiste, Deputy Varadkar,...

Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (21 Sep 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: I am asking the Minister, Deputy Ryan, again here today to open up Shannon LNG. I heard the Minister last night and he appears to have no notion of doing that. I am asking the Taoiseach, Deputy Micheál Martin, and the Tánaiste, Deputy Leo Varadkar, to ensure that it is reopened.

Measures to Assist with Household Bills: Motion [Private Members] (14 Sep 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...Kinsale could be probed further. Some 200 million barrels of gas and oil could be drilled out of Barryroe. The Government pays no heed to that. It refused, point blank, planning permission for Shannon LNG and the Minister is against it. That is criminal. People on the road are paying the amount of tax they are paying and then the Minister suggests that one car would do everyone in a...

EirGrid, Electricity and Turf (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (28 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...cornered with that because the Ministers do not want to listen to anybody. We have an opportunity in Kerry and a very worthwhile company has had a proposal in the offing for many years at Shannon LNG, where we could source gas and bring in the gas from western countries that might be inclined to sell it to us rather than dealing with Putin and others. We are in trouble with Brexit and...

Energy Security: Motion [Private Members] (15 Jun 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...of electricity has gone up daily. The Government should reverse this decision and utilise every bit of turf we have in the country. Turf kept this country going during the Second World War. Shannon LNG should also get the licence to import gas from western sources such as the United States and other countries that would be minded to sell gas to us. It will not cost the country 1 cent as...

Danny Healy-Rae: ...already torn down Bord na Móna. Every day since then, the cost of electricity has gone up. The Taoiseach promised the people of north Kerry when he was canvassing there that he would support Shannon LNG, but now he is against it. Surely, the Taoiseach knows what is happening around the world. China is building massive electricity-generating stations. Russia is mining coal and...

Danny Healy-Rae: ...to talk to the Russians about their proposed involvement off our shores. We need a proper navy and air force. In maintaining our neutrality, we need to have our own liquified natural gas, LNG, plant for access to gas. We should reopen Bord na Móna to ensure we have energy security until we have other alternatives of our own and not be dependent on Russia for coal and gas. It is...

Financial Resolution: Excise (9 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...their trawlers. Parents taking children to school are suffering. What is the Government doing? It is importing Russian coal and closing down Bord na Móna. Then, the Government does not want Shannon LNG. What does it want to do - block up the country altogether?

Finance (Covid-19 and Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2022: Second Stage (9 Mar 2022)

Danny Healy-Rae: ...deemed ineligible for the payment either because they were sick or had Covid. That must be looked at. Surely, the Minister will see the light there. Of course, the Government does not want Shannon LNG. The Tánaiste says he has other plans. When will they materialise? We need gas at the present time. We should be able to buy gas from the USA, or people that are inclined to...

An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (8 Mar 2022)
