That Great Business Show

Show Notes

Ireland talks a big game on energy. Wind. Net zero. Security of supply. But scratch the surface… and the picture looks a lot less comfortable. On Episode 289 of That Great Business Show, Conall Ó Móráin sits down with Duncan Osborne, CEO of Calor Gas Ireland, to ask a very simple question: Are we actually prepared — or just pretending to be? This is a hard conversation about: Ireland’s reliance on imported energy The reality behind renewable targets Storage — or lack of it Infrastructure delays And what happens if supply is disrupted Because here’s the uncomfortable truth: Ireland is one of the most energy-dependent countries in Europe. And very few people are saying it out loud. This is not theory. This is not policy waffle. This is real-world energy — from someone operating inside the system.
