Six towns connected to gas network have no supply

Two of the largest towns in Kerry are among six across the country which still have no access to natural gas, the Government has confirmed.

Energy Minister Alex White said there are 36 towns with populations of more than 10,000 people which are currently connected to the natural gas network.

However, he said six of those — Killarney, Tralee, Letterkenny, Enniscorthy, Wexford, and Sligo — “are currently without a gas supply”.
