High Court overturns An Bord Pleanála's refusal on Shannon LNG terminal

Shannon LNG proposed that liquified natural gas would be shipped to Ireland and 're-gasified' on the site, before being put in the national gas grid

The planned new 600MW power plant and LNG import terminal planned for North Kerry on the Shannon estuary.

A decision by An Bord Pleanála to refuse permission for a liquified natural gas (LNG) terminal in North Kerry has been overturned by the High Court.

Last September, the planning appeals body rejected an application by Shannon LNG, a subsidiary of US multinational New Fortress Energy, seeking to build a power plant, battery energy storage system, floating storage, and other associated works.
