Good news from Ireland15 May 2019 09:44
On Monday, Minister for Climate Action Richard Bruton resisted calls to stop all gas and oil exploration off Irish coasts because even by 2030 some 30 per cent of the country’s electricity supply would still be sourced from fossil fuels.
“It is better to have a domestic source than seeking to rely on other sources, be it Russian oligarchs or Arabic sheikhs,” the minister told British-Irish Parliamentary Assembly at the Druid’s Glen resort in Co Wicklow.
