This motion refers to Chapter 4: Green Infrastructure, pg 447-450 Submission SD-C195-248 To amend Strategic Corridor 5: Camac River Corridor Under Core Areas and Stepping Stones from Core Areas: Corkagh Park to Core Areas: Corkagh Park Rathcoole Woodlands Rationale: To include the Rathcoole Woodlands as a core green area in the GI. The CE Response considers the woodlands too small, but the Alluvial Woodland component of woodlands at Rathcoole is still considerable given that the National Survey of Native Woodlands found: 'The majority of surveyed woodlands were small or very small in extent, with 50% of sites being 6 ha or less…, over two thirds (67.8%) of sites were 10 ha or less and only 3.3% of sites surveyed were 50 ha or more, with just ten sites over 100 ha…This reflects the highly fragmented nature of the Irish woodland resource..' I believe this significance merits inclusion as a core area.

This motion relates to Chapter 10 Energy, submission SD-C195-181 on page 877 of the CE report. To remove the following sentence from the new Section 11.5 Electricity Infrastructure: It is recognised that natural gas, particularly renewable and indigenous gas, will have a role to play in the transition to a low carbon economy. As such, renewable energy developments may require support from such sources in times of high energy demand. Reason: Neither natural gas nor so called renewable natural gas should be regarded as a greener alternative to other fossil fuels. Natural gas is a fossil fuel and should be phased out as soon as possible. It's still debatable whether or not RNG is a good alternative with many climate scientists advising against the replacing of natural gas with RNG.
