      Well hopefully one day he’ll be leader and can enact change 

    3. HighDeltaVee on

      >But we should also look at alternatives, including nuclear, given advances in technology.

      He’s presumably talking about SMRs, but there are none commercially available in Europe and not likely to be for a decade or more.

      We’ll aleady be well on the way to addressing power issues by then. Still better to keep an eye on things if they change faster than anticipated.

      Seriously consider AKA have a focus group recommend it and then ignore there recommendation.

    5. ForbiddenToblerone on

      Example 300,000 of the leader of the government making suggestions as if he’s some average punter on the street with no power to enact change.

      Hot air.

    6. ruthemook on

      Yes we should. Would you trust our govt to build a functioning nuclear power plant though?1

    7. MemestNotTeen on

      We should. But we need a serious improvement in the department of energy because as we’ve seen with the children’s hospital the government suck at getting stuff built

    8. Gobshite666 on

      Build something nuclear when we cant build affordable housing or a childrens hospital

      We do need to look at more forms of energy tidal harnesses on the west cost for example

      But fuck me the way we build and use the worst and most expensive scamming developers, fuck off Mehole.

      Least it’s more jobs than a data center! And more use to the country also!

    10. Orzien on

      We don’t have the population to meaningfully use it right now but doesn’t hurt to get the ball rolling for the future, the interconnecter with France and the speculative one with Spain would also allow us to sell the energy to the mainland.

    11. pointblankmos on

      I’ll consider his serious consideration seriously. 

    13. Bill_Badbody on

      They have to be near water and population centre.

      So that means east coast near Dublin.

      There is no TD ever going to support rhe construction of a nuclear plant in their constituency. Or in constituencys near them.

      The trend for the last 30 years has been towards smaller and more fractured government majorities.

      So there is no way that the proposed locations of a plant or plants does not cause TDs to leave the government benches, possibly collapsing the government

    14. Closersolid on

      If you went through and began the process of building a nuclear power station now, you’d be looking at about 50 years before it was built

    16. Feeling-Decision-902 on

      Only if we bring in adults to build and look after it

    20. Glum-Inflation-4851 on

      Coming from the government that has a really strong proven track record of investing and completing very necessary national infrastructure. /s

    23. slevinonion on

      The UK’s new one is costing €58bn. We’re struggling to put up a wind mill. So, no.

    24. Sad-Kaleidoscope-40 on

      I’ve said it before the benefits of energy security leave options like nuclear power vital
      Were also in the position to future proof reactors for when fusion is cracked

    25. ChemiWizard on

      Oh come on. I am actually all for nuclear power but it takes ages to come online. Wind/solar/ battery is enough and that already faces nimby challenges. The issue of energy generation in Ireland is will. Will to fund it, will to put down nonsense challenges, will to expedite it. There is no lack of technology and money.

      My electric bill is high enough, my fear of global disruption is high enough, but apparently some people still need to be convinced.

      We spent 500 million on so called ‘farmers and haulers’ to get a tiny discount on fuel. Imagine that spent on green energy plants and reinforcing the grid. At least we would have something to show for it tomorrow.

    27. ChemiWizard on

      It honestly makes more sense to build a better interconntor with france and pay them to build a new reactor and look after it.

    29. francescoli on

      Not a hope of Nuclear plants being built here anytime soon.

      It would be a mine field and the push back would be on another level.

      Buy Nuclear power via the interconnectors and focus on renewables.

    31. qwerty_1965 on

      Given the cost and the time scale Ireland could have off shore wind by the GB and solar likewise in less than half the time.

      It’s amusing to hear this now with viable alternatives clearly preferable which Martin knows is the case I suspect.

    32. Glittering_Tree_9335 on

      Yeah go ahead there Mikey. We’ll see it in about 30 years. 

    33. yankdevil on

      Another way to waste money. Just build off shore wind and battery storage already. It would be far cheaper and faster.

    34. saggynaggy123 on

      I love when politicians in positions of power make statements like this, as if he isn’t in charge of the fucking country
