Vol. 503 No. 1

Written Answers. - Gas Supplies.

Phil Hogan

Ceist:

56 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Public Enterprise the Government policy position in relation to the competing proposals for meeting future gas supply, that is, an interconnector between Dublin and Belfast, a second interconnector between Scotland and Ireland or to await the final exploratory investigations into a gas find off the west coast; and if she will make a comprehensive statement setting out the Government's strategy in this regard. [8646/99]

I refer the Deputy to previous replies given to questions on this subject on 18 February, 9 March and 23 March 1999.

The study of gas demand to the year 2025 is ongoing and the various options and proposals will be carefully considered by me.
