Government adamant natural gas terminal not stalled

The Government remained adamant last night a €1bn natural gas terminal had not been stalled by developers Shannon LNG.

The weekend statement led to fears for the Co Kerry-based project — which endured several years of wrangling over proposed operation tariffs.

However, Energy Minister Alex White said yesterday his predecessor Pat Rabbitte was consistently supportive of the proposal by Shannon LNG to construct a LNG terminal near Ballylongford, Co Kerry.
