Center Parcs in €3m gas deal in Longford

Natural gas is to be piped into Longford for the first time following the signing of a €3m deal with holiday village operators Center Parcs.

The contract with Gas Networks Ireland will provide a secure source of reliable fuel for the planned €233m Center Parcs Longford Forest resort being constructed at Newcastle Wood in Ballymahon.

Center Parcs chief executive Martin Dalby described the gas mains as a “fundamental requirement” for the project.
