Vol. 532 No. 1

Written Answers. - Offshore Exploration.

Enda Kenny

Question:

94 Mr. Kenny asked the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources if he will make available to the Oireachtas Library all information available to him on the development of the Corrib Field natural gas; if he will make available all environmental impact analysis studies or related material on this subject; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6872/01]

The material received in my Department relating to this development contains substantial amounts of commercially sensitive information which was gathered by Enterprise Oil at great expense and much of which will prove useful to the company in its wider exploration pro gramme in Irish waters. As such I would be putting the company's commercial position at risk if I were to release all material at this stage.

Material which is appropriate to the public domain has been released as part of the public consultation process or will be released when the public consultation process is revisited.
