Kerry councillors vow to reject programme for Government over Shannon LNG stance 

Cllr. Jim Finucane, Mayor of Tralee (FG).

Both the Fine Gael mayor of Tralee and the Fianna Fáil Cathaoirleach of Listowel say they will not support the programme for Government because of the stance on Shannon LNG.

The likely sacrifice of the 15 year-old liquefied natural gas terminal project, Shannon LNG, near Tarbert in North Kerry, was described as “a very dark day for Kerry and the entire region” at a meeting of Kerry County Council.
