SPANISH energy giant Endesa must provide more information on environmental issues as part of its planning application for a €500 million gas-fired power plant at Tarbert.

A €500 MILLION gas-fired power station would have huge economic benefits for the jobs-starved north Kerry area, an oral planning hearing was told in Listowel yesterday.

ACTOR Pierce Brosnan, 55, has come out in support of a group opposing a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal development near Tarbert, Co Kerry.

THE promoters of a €500 million gas terminal on the Shannon estuary have given assurances about the safety of a 26km pipeline which will run across country from Tarbert, in Co Kerry, to Foynes, Co Limerick.

WAYLEAVES have been agreed with most of 72 landowners along the route of a 25km gas pipeline that will link a new gas terminal, in Tarbert, Co Kerry, with the national gas grid, near Foynes, Co Limerick, an oral planning hearing has been told.
