Deputation satisfied with Taoiseach’s support for gas terminal

A top-level Kerry delegation has been heartened by Taoiseach Enda Kenny’s support for a €500m gas terminal proposed for the Shannon Estuary, amid serious concerns it would not proceed.

The delegation, led by county manager Tom Curran and Kerry mayor Tim Buckley, was introduced by Arts and Heritage Minister Jimmy Deenihan.

They met Mr Kenny and Energy Minister Pat Rabbitte on Wednesday night in Dublin.
