The Claire Byrne Show · What could this year’s ‘energy budget’ bring? · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

They couldn't put on the home heating and the home heating is is after going up massively since.

So they have to make some movement and they're making some uh gestures to towards doing that.

But

When when they're calling a public meeting uh next week, the most of them people are agricultural contractors, haulers that know that they're in a crisis situation and they're on their bended knees and from that meeting will come requests for uh moves to be made.

I I hope that they give the chance maybe uh for uh uh the the budget to make those moves.

Uh and that's where we'll be I'd be listening very, very carefully as to the demands uh from that meeting and I'd be reading that to the law of the Ireland like we did before and we weren't listening to but eventually uh the the government set up and listened.

The Claire Byrne Show · Should the country reopen the door to coal-fired power? · 11 May 2026 podcast

Good morning, Clare.

Look, halfway down the road, we should never have gone that road, unfortunately, until we had renewables in place.

Ireland is a laggard.

We're well known throughout Europe as being a laggard in relation to renewables.

So we have a lot of dreaming and a lot of talking.

but in reality, Clare, the people on the ground here are suffering at this present time with the price of fuel and now the concern is are we going to continue getting fuel?

I've been saying this all along during the war, the price is shocking, but will we continue to get it if this war keeps going the way it's going and it isn't?

There's no solution that we can see out there at this present time.

We're being pushed into a situation where we may end up with no fuel.

We have opportunities here,

We shouldn't be in the situation looking at... What are the opportunities as you see them?

We had Barry Rowe, the Barry Rowe eye field.

The government refused to let the company drill.

They don't drill.
