IRELAND: Worries over possible winter gas shortage due to war in Ukraine.

Ireland processes its only natural gas source from the CARB gas field, which provides just 30% of its gas needs. The remaining 70% is imported from the UK, making Ireland heavily reliant on Britain. With potential gas shortages in the UK, Ireland's energy security is at risk. Rising energy costs are impacting local services, especially affecting the elderly. The National Grid assures equal treatment for Irish consumers in emergencies, but concerns remain. Ireland must diversify its energy sources as its indigenous gas supply depletes.
