THE development of the Seven Heads Gas Field off the coast of Cork got the green light yesterday from the Government.

Minister of State at the Department of Communications Marine and Natural Resources, John Browne also gave his consent for the construction of a pipeline for the development.

Mr Browne praised Ramco and the other Seven Heads operators for having the enterprise to go ahead with the development, as a number of other petroleum companies had considered developing the field.
