Transport support and LNG facilities
Michael Healy-Rae sought timelines for disability transport-support legislation and progress on the promised Tarbert-Foynes LNG facility; the Tánaiste gave a July timeframe for the Bill and promised to revert on LNG.
When will the health (transport support) Bill, which is to provide for a scheme to make individual payments as a contribution toward transport costs for people with severe disabilities, be brought before the House?
Yesterday, the Minister, Deputy Denis Naughten, met with a deputation. There is a commitment in the programme for Government to a liquefied natural gas, LNG, facility in the Tarbert-Foynes area. When will the Government make progress with regard to fulfilling the commitment it has given in the programme for Government regarding Ireland having a LNG facility because this is most important? Can the Tánaiste make a statement on that?
