Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has been promoted as a “clean” fuel that will complement Ireland’s energy mix, but nothing could be further from the truth. LNG is a climate and human rights disaster. Currently, two LNG import terminals are planned for Ireland in Cork Harbour and Tarbert, Co. Kerry, which would import fracked gas from the US. What impacts will these projects have on communities at the other end of the supply chain in the US?

In this unique webinar we take a look at both sides of the toxic LNG supply chain, revealing the health and environmental impacts the LNG promoters fail to disclose. We will have community representatives from Texas, Pennsylvania and Kerry sharing their experiences of fighting these projects, followed by a Q&A.

This event will take place over Zoom. Please register for FREE through the Action Network link below and you will be sent the link on the day of the webinar.
