Jump To Comment: 1 2The Department of the Marine and Natural Resources launched it's energy
policy on Sunday 1st October 2006, the same day as the consumer's ass.
demanded that the massive hike in gas be stopped and were denied.
The Dept of the Marine had Bertie there to underscore the media junket aspect
of the day, therby all the mainstream journalists attended to hear that no-
we will not have nuclear power in the next ten years, meanwhile the gas went up
enormously and loads of lovely photos were taken.
Costs of domestic gas are now at an all time high and people are beginning to
feel the pinch. Most of our power will be generated by wind over the next 20
years (its sustainable -you know, and Marine sold off the Gas rights and
criminalised the people of Erris today).
Meanwhile the O Brien Sponsored newly nationalised Newstalk 106 regularly
interviews professors, such as the one mentioned above to lobby for the
introduction of nuclear power into Ireland.
The Strategic Infrastructure Bill allows for the introduction of this energy
into the country and as we all know it provides for the divison of an Bord
Pleanala and a one-stop shop for the corporations to lobby and create
focus groups for the necessity of this energy source.
O Brien hit the headlines in the last two weeks because he gave up a substantial
number of his directorships (except Media) in advance of the Moriarity Tribunal
inquiries into ESAT. (He even gave up Digi-tech- his co-director is the Caymans is
PJ Mara) Both were last photographed together on June 16th at the funeral of the
late CJ Haughey- The day of the introduction to the Dail of the Strategic Infrastructure
Bill. This administration has said that nuclear energy will not therefore be introduced into
Ireland, but the media lobby ignored the cost of gas to the consumer and the impending
Garda encroachment on Rossport.
