Russian gas dispute will not affect Ireland says Bord Gais

Bord Gais has insisted that the dispute between Russia and the Ukraine will not affect gas prices here.

Although the supply of Russian gas has resumed, there are fears the dispute will cause further price hikes throughout Europe.

However, Bord Gais says Ireland has not been affected by the situation, and prices will remain stable.

A spokesperson for the company said Ireland is well prepared for any international emergency that might limit gas supplies.

Although 80% of our gas is imported, most of it from Norway, the board said there are a number of sources of gas and we are not dependant on any one country.

However, the spokesperson failed to comment on whether or not a problem in the UK could halt Ireland’s gas supply, as all of our gas comes through the UK.
