According to an Irish Government website
There has been no indication that the UK government is seeking to threaten Ireland in such a way, but it is indicative of some Brexit suppoters , that they live under a delusion that they can threaten a member of the European Union in this case Ireland without facing dire consequences from the the other 26.
Bearing in mind this
So under 50% of our Gas supplies come from our own pipelines .
Unless Mr Vance believes, that a deal with Russia could be made which could be imported via pipelines in the EU , he might want to reconsider his threats.

is an alternative to legacy media. Dissatisfaction and trust in the mainstream media is at an all-time low. We have no political affiliation, we only wish to speak about the issues facing the world today. We do not associate with the alt-right or the alt-left. Our intention is to always report honestly and welcome debate from all sides. Challenging views we may not agree with is fundamental in a free and open society.It appears however that he is a UK Citizen.

According to an Irish Government website
Ireland’s natural gas comes from both indigenous production and imports. The indigenous resources include gas fields at Kinsale and Corrib.The Corrib gas field commenced production on 30 December 2015. It will greatly enhance our security of supply in that it will provide diversity of supply for the duration of its production.
Since the start of 2016, Corrib production accounts for approximately 36% of gas demand. It is expected that this will rise to approximately 60% in 2016/17 and approximately 50% in 2017/18. Thereafter production is expected to decline.
The balance of our natural gas requirement is imported from Britain. The price of gas on the Irish market is determined by the marginal cost of this imported gas. Gas is imported from Britain via a system of sub-sea pipelines from Scotland (interconnectors).
As a result, the price we pay for our gas as a commodity is set by the price of natural gas at the UK gas trading hub plus the cost of transporting it to Ireland via the subsea pipelines from Scotland.
There has been no indication that the UK government is seeking to threaten Ireland in such a way, but it is indicative of some Brexit suppoters , that they live under a delusion that they can threaten a member of the European Union in this case Ireland without facing dire consequences from the the other 26.
