Micheál Martin acknowledged Ireland is facing a major challenge amid warnings from experts there may be power shortages this winter as demand is predicted to outweigh supply.

“We will be having further meetings with the CRU [Commission for the Regulation of Utilities] and with Eirgrid in respect of this. We had meetings late last year in respect of this, we gave sanction to emergency procurement of generation in an unprecedented way,” he said.

Mr Martin was responding to media questions in west Cork after expert, Paul Deane of the Research Centre for Energy Climate and Marine at University College Cork warned “alarm bells” have been ringing on the energy supply issue “for well over a year”. It has since emerged Minister for the Environment, Eamon Ryan has appointed former senior civil servant Dermot McCarthy to carry out review of energy security — particularly the roles of Eirgid and the CRU in ensuring regular supply.

However, Mr FitzGerald warned neither the Government nor the energy regulator in the Republic could make unilateral decisions because of the North-South energy grid and he did not anticipate the all-island grid being divided.

Welcome to the fffgg green future.

Blah, Blah, Blah Martin -- such fear ridden propaganda. He and the other cohorts should admit their mistake and correct their problem or assume the electorate will replace you and your greedy colleagues. It is your job to make sure this does not happen, but you made it happen.

Granny shall freeze to death to save the environment 🙏🏻
