What does Ryan mean by a "final decision"?
The only decision Ryan can make is to allow the permission to develop Barryroe.
If he made any other decision, for example, to block it, Providence would sue the government under the "money order" or under the Rockhopper decision over Italy and even if Ryan continues to block Barryroe I suspect, given the name change, that Curran is lining up a court case in the event of a further delay.
"Providence v. The Irish Government" does not sound as good as "Barryroe Offshore Energy plc v The Irish Government" which would focus people's attention on the Barryroe opportunity and put the skids under Ryan.
This is the transcript of Ryan’s response to Michael McGrath and I think with the current backdrop of the energy security review and energy crisis, I sense he will be more inclined to approve, which to some degree kicks the can down the road, as there are a number of other regulatory stages that he will be mindful of, a refusal would instigate immediate litigation and in light of the overwhelming evidence to support the Providence claim, this is not something that Ryan would want at this stage,…GL S

How long is it going to take?
Deputy Eamon Ryan
These are environmental, technical and financial. The countermotion also notes that broader energy policy or energy security considerations have no bearing on the regulatory process. To answer Deputy McGrath's question, I expect it shortly, within the coming weeks.

More from Mattie McGrath..
“I thank iar-Seanadóir Brian Ó Domhnaill, my daughter Mairéad and iar-Seanadóir John Hanafin for their help in putting the motion together. I make no apologies for the motion we have brought forward today. We will take no criticism from the Minister of State or the absent Minister who was here at the start. Why is it that he has fled like snow off a ditch when questions were being asked, especially by the rural groups, the Regional Group, ourselves and Deputy McNamara who had to return to the health committee? The Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan has to answer. He made one statement - and we will check the record - that a final decision will issue on Barryroe and the application in the coming weeks. We will hold him to that because he has dithered.”
