High Court decision on gas power plant in Kerry a step in 'Ireland aligning with EU policy'

A judicial review was lodged by the charity Friends of the Irish Environment.

Limerick Chamber has said the High Court decision to uphold the planning permission for a gas power plant in Co Kerry is a "significant step" in Ireland aligning with EU policy.

Shannon LNG Ltd, an American-owned company, was granted permission to build a 600-megawatt power plant on a 630-acre site between Tarbert and Ballylongford.
