What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Oireachtas passed legislation this year that gives the Minister for Energy power to bypass planning laws to approve a proposed State LNG storage project. This enactment, along with the Critical Infrastructure Act, demonstrates the Government’s commitment to overhauling the State’s planning and building infrastructure.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Liquefied natural gas is critical to the State’s energy security, as 30% of its primary energy comes through a pipeline from Scotland. A member of the Accelerating Infrastructure Task Force warned that the economy could shut down in three or four hours if those pipelines are disrupted.
