Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 February 2004
133 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the licensing arrangements that will apply to the pipelines from the shore to the proposed gas terminal in Bellanaboy, County Mayo; and if he will give other international examples of cases in which there is a similar distance between the landfall for such a pipeline and such a terminal. [5875/04]
View answerIn April 2002, I gave consent to the developers of the Corrib gas field to lay an onshore and offshore pipeline to which I attached a number of conditions both technical and environmental. The developers in carrying out this work must comply with all of these conditions. This Corrib pipeline proposal was examined by my Department on its own merits.
I am not in a position to answer the second part of the Deputy's question, as such information is not available to me.
