Posted by info on 09 Sep 2011 | Tagged as: Energy, Environment
There has been commentary in public debate over recent weeks as to the previous Government’s role in the regulatory process that has allowed companies explore the possibility of extracting gas from the shale rock formations in the Lough Allen Basin.
The role of the Green Party in this process needs to be clarified.
Eamon Ryan and John Gormley resigned from their Cabinet positions on January 23rd 2011. Eamon Ryan was replaced as Minister for Energy, Communications and Natural Resources on the same day by Pat Carey.
Several weeks later, on February 14th 2011, Minister for State at the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Conor Lenihan TD, issued license options to Tamboran Resources and The Lough Allen Natural Gas Company.
At no time was current Green Party leader, Eamon Ryan, involved in the issuance of licenses to undertake gas exploration in the Lough Allen region.
