Do you support the use of hydraulic fracking to extract oil and natural gas resources?

It depends on the current energy and environmental situation. If the country does not have enought energy, then I see it as needed and wanted for the government to act in this way (adopting fracking).

Fracking is not a sustainable way to obtain fuel, but until we are able to produce enough energy via sustainable sources, it should be allowed

I only support fracking if the country needs to and requires money if the country is doing poorly economically.

Yes, but fracking is not a technique that would be commercially viable with Ireland's geologic properties. The question should be more broadly about becoming self sufficient in the medium term for our hydrocarbon needs.

Do not know enough about topic, believe in environmental regulation and protecting the climate, however, not doing it at all will mean we need to get this energy from other countries that may not regulate at all which doesn't help the problem, ultimatley reduce reliance on these resources is the best option

No, we should look research less harmful options but I understand this can't be immediately stopped without a replacement option in place.

Yes and no. We should increase oversight, there is lots of corruption within the oil industry. We should also pursue more sustainable ways of producing energy as oil is a finite resource and we must protect our environment to ensure we have a future
