Ireland warned of risk posed by Brexit to energy supplies

Ireland’s energy supply is at risk of being “doubly disconnected” due to Brexit, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has been warned. The claim came from the Irish Offshore Operators’ Association (IOOA) in a letter to Mr Martin at the end of November.
The Programme for Government commits to a ban on new exploration for oil and gas off Ireland’s coast as part of efforts to fight climate change.
Mandy Johnston, chief executive of the IOOA, told Mr Martin: “In the case of any future gas supply emergency disruption, the UK will no longer be bound by current EU obligations to provide ‘solidarity’. It is our fear that Ireland is on the verge of being doubly disconnected, first from indigenous supply and then by Brexit.”
