The governments energy policy has been described as something from Alice and Wonderland.
Speaking ahead of a Dail Motion today the leader of the Rural Independent Group said the unprecedented energy crisis is being compounded by the government’s one-dimensional thinking which is leaving Ireland extremely vulnerable.
The Motion tabled by the independents is calling on the government to end the importation of oil from dictators and to begin drilling domestically for what they say is cleaner oil off the Cork coast.
Mattie Mc Grath said continuing to pursue the government’s half-baked energy policy could result in severe fuel shortages in a few months’ time.
