36 Mr. Ryan asked the Minister for Energy if he has any immediate plans to extend the natural gas grid to all householders in the Dublin area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
Bord Gáis Éireann (BGE) has a statutory obligation to develop and maintain a system for the supply of natural gas on a commercial basis. Accordingly, proposals for the extension of the gas distribution grid are a matter for Bord Gáis Éireann and are assessed by the board in the light of that obligation.
