Vol. 401 No. 4
136 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for Energy if the Moneypoint generating station, County Clare now use low sulphur coal.
At present a mixture of low and higher sulphur coals is used in Moneypoint. Firm commitments have been entered into by the ESB to increase supplies of low sulphur coal. This will be a continuing process, on a progressive basis, as contract tonnage comes up for annual renewal and as existing stocks are depleted.
