Tuesday 5 May: The Nuclear Option - Ireland’s Energy Future


Listen Later

The Strait of Hormuz remains under pressure, with the ceasefire fragile and oil supplies at risk, raising fears of further energy price shocks.


As costs rise, questions grow over whether Ireland should reconsider nuclear energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.


And while recent supports have eased tensions for now, could rising fuel costs trigger renewed protests later in the year?


Guest Presenter Shane Coleman was joined by:

Peter "Chap" Cleere TD, Fianna Fáil Spokesperson on Agriculture & Rural Affairs

Jennifer Whitmore TD, Social Democrats Spokesperson for Climate & Energy

Pat O’Toole, Political correspondent, Irish Farmer’s Journal 

Megan O’Brien, Political Reporter, Business Post
