Rabbitte in talks over €600m gas terminal

Despite numerous obstacles which have stalled a €600m liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal proposed for the Shannon Estuary, the Government is still in contact with the company about the project.

Shannon LNG plans to build a huge plant near Ballylongford, Co Kerry, have been mired in legal difficulties for the past three years, amid claims that the Government is not giving enough support to the project.

However, Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte says he has recently been in contact with the company to help “facilitate’’ the proposed investment.
