Clare Opposition TD Calls On Oireachtas Members To Oppose Controversial Gas Terminal
Clare's opposition TD is calling on her fellow Oireachtas members to oppose the planned strategic gas emergency reserve in the Shannon Estuary. A two-hour debate on the controversial project proposed for Cahiracon near Kildysart has taken place in the Dáil. The final Strategic Gas Reserve Bill has yet to be debated but has been subject to pre-legislative scrutiny in the Oireachtas Climate Committee. Shannon Sinn Féin Deputy Donna McGettigan claims the Government should be pursuing renewable options to ensure Ireland's energy is "clean, secure, affordable and ours".
