Inside Business with Ciaran Hancock · Could we be heading toward a world recession if Trump can’t broker a deal with Iran? · 13 May 2026 podcast

I would have doubts about it.

I think we're better putting our efforts into… Offshore wind?

Accelerating the renewables and particularly the offshore wind where we've fallen way behind really in terms of our plans or in terms of what other countries have done.

Mid-2030s maybe?

Yeah.

And just on the point of the cost, the public sell of this is that we're going to get clean, cheap energy.

It may be clean, but we've yet to see how cheap it will be.

Well, it's part of the energy mix now around Europe.

Big LNG imports into the UK.

One of the problems with Ireland is we don't have anywhere to store LNG, or nowhere to store large amounts of anyway, and there's...

been talk of this facility in the channel estuary which the government are now trying to accelerate but as with everything in ireland it seems to that's going to take some years to come on stream and there's a private proposed private facility down there as well the state floating lng was announced some months ago and kind of with trumpets and this was a big step forward energy security my understanding is that when they went to look at it the delivery date was a good way in the future like as in four or five years into the future

even with a boat in terms of planning it, putting the necessary infrastructure in place, the connections and all that.

So I think, you know, LNG is part of the energy mix around Europe and Ireland is going to, Ireland will import it indirectly and to some extent directly as well, but we've nowhere to store it in large amounts.

So the stuff coming down the pipe from Britain, you know, as you say.

Inside Business with Ciaran Hancock · Inflation remains steady; and Conor Pope’s energy saving tips · 29 Apr 2026 podcast

Here we go.

It's about as good as we might have expected at 3.6%.

And I suppose, again, looking back to the last time inflation took hold in 2022, there was already a bit of an uplift because of COVID.

And then the energy prices were added on top of that after the Ukraine war.

And prices went mad, peaking at, I think, 8.5%, 9% annual rate.

So, you know, we're not in that kind of territory now.
