Liquid gas terminal may be development catalyst

THE Shannon Estuary is on the threshold of a new industrial dawn which promises to transform the entire industrial aspect of the Mid-West and Kerry.

Liquid gas terminal may be development catalyst

The catalyst will be a new €400 million liquid natural gas (LNG) receiving terminal — the first of its kind in Ireland — planned for a land-bank between Ballylongford and Tarbert on the estuary’s southern tip.

Not only will the facility provide access to new, reliable natural gas supplies from abroad, it also has the potential to lead to the development of a gas-fired electricity station in that area of the estuary.
