Time to bring on the energy tribunal

IN a leading question to Eamon Ryan (August 4), T Smyth expects the Corrib Gas field to “secure our future” in the face of rising energy costs.

This is a reasonable assumption as the Constitution states that the resources of Ireland belong to the people of Ireland.

However, citizens hoping to benefit from our natural resources should be reminded that the head of Bord Gáis Energy Supply has already stated that Corrib will make no difference to the price Irish people will pay for gas.
