The next Corrib-Gas campaign:
the State is anchoring its flagship emergency energy project, in County Clare, to an environmental crime scene and a non-existent root of title.

The Minister for Energy's refusal to clarify to the Irish Planning Authorities the Government's position on the proposed private Shannon LNG US fracked gas terminal planning application should lead to its refusal by @anbordpleanala!

Scotland and Ireland consume around 11 bcm (billion cubic metres) of gas per year while 17.4 bcm from the North Sea pipelines came into Northern Scotland alone in 2024.
Over 6 bcm had to go south after Moffat.
Do the maths!
Irish pipeline gas is North Sea gas, not fracked gas!

UK's System Operator @neso_energy confirmed "NTS compression does not currently support the transport of gas to the high-demand parts of Scotland from the southern zones or from the zone’s more southerly terminals at Teesside & Barrow" meaning no UK fracked gas comes to Ireland!

Great breaking news!
Shannon LNG power station planning permission PAUSED in the Irish High Court on grounds that 3 gigawatts of gas-fired stations already have planning consent, breaching the 2 gigawatts government policy target. Well done @FIEIRELAND

Humanity is choosing to fail!
We are doing virtually nothing to try and limit global warming to even 4°C.
Let alone to 1.5°C.
Methane concentrations are following the highest IPCC scenario, now at 1938 ppb.

Well done to @love_leitrim, @friendsoftheea6, @Notherenot27316, @ExtinctRebelsIE & the other speakers for organising a really informative information session yesterday about the Government's u- turn on the importation of fracked gas.
⬇️ my contribution about this in the Seanad.

Emergency, first the greens laid the policy groundwork, now the current government is trying to sneak through the Fracked Gas Acceleration Bill, just in time for their visit to Trump for St. Patricks day. No bowls of shamrocks for this extinction fuel! #StopShannonLNG

Great publication for farmers. Particularly across the west where there is less intensive farming. Hopefully, there will be more incentive and supports for farmers who adopt these approaches on their high nature value farms.

Financially distressed Shannon LNG owners @new_fortress, back in Irish Courts yet again, accused by previous owners-shelf company Sambolo-of not paying Tralee man Paddy Power & son John €23.7 million. Are these the type of people Ireland is depending on for its energy security?

The @greenparty_ie are trying to bring in a fracked gas import terminal under accelerated implemention Action 17. We say Revoke Action 17 now! Delivering a petition to Greens to #StopShannonLNG @rte@rodericogorman @RoisinGarvey my.uplift.ie/petitions/tell-…

We will hand over the petition to the @greenparty_ie on Monday 12:30pm at their HQ in Dublin to tell them to change policy now to prevent building LNG terminals importing fracked gas to Ireland. Please come along! my.uplift.ie/petitions/tell-…

@greenparty_ie @rodericogorman are calling for US green Jill Stein to step down from running in favour of pro-fracking candidate Kamala Harris. You couldn't make this up.
Why are the Green Party in Ireland calling for US Green Party candidate Jill Stein to step down in the US Elections in favour of Kamala Harris who has openly supported the Israeli Genocide in Gaza..? Is @DrJillStein not enough of a Warmonger for @greenparty_ie ...?
I just signed this petition, will you join me? my.uplift.ie/petitions/tell-… via @UpliftIRL
