It’s outrageous that our government is still allowing new fossil fuel infrastructure to be built - when what they should be supporting is the roll out of solar panels and wind farms
Sinn Fein says it is committed to “no new fossil fuel infrastructure” and opposes any “that will lock us into fossil fuel use for decades to come”.
Cloghan Point Oil Terminal, backed by LCC Group which runs Go Petrol Stations, is arguably the most contentious of the two with 31 third party ‘call in’ requests. They told us: “Minister O’Dowd gave the matter careful consideration in line with all of his statutory obligations.” But that leaves the impression the climate crisis was only considered in terms of how the council dealt with climate concerns third parties raised.
But carbon budgets are yet to be set for each department and the sectors they are responsible for. So have these two fossil fuel projects slipped through the net? I’ll leave that for you to ponder. If Sinn Fein is serious about stopping new infrastructure that will lock us into fossil fuel use for decades to come and in their own words “greatly impede the transition to a zero carbon society” how has one of their own allowed decisions on two major fossil fuel projects to pass him by through refusing to intervene?
