Shannon estuary gas terminal would cut prices, say promoters
Shannon LNG has been granted planning permission for a site on the Tarbert/Ballylongford landbank, in north Kerry, but work is on hold pending a decision from the Commission for Energy Regulation.
The project was announced in May 2006 and since then, promoters have invested almost €50m in securing planning and other permits. The project would create up to 600 construction jobs, and around 50 jobs when completed.
