Question:

203 Mr. Eamon Ryan asked the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources the procedures and timetable that would apply for the issuing of consent to install, in view of the comments made by the Minister of State, Deputy Browne, in Dáil Éireann on 29 June 2004 that the consent issued in April 2002 for the Corrib gas field onshore pipeline was essentially permission in principle to proceed with the design and that this is to be followed at the installation stage by the issue, by the petroleum affairs division, of the consent to install for the various phases of pipe laying.

Written answers

It is not possible at this juncture to say what the timetable will be for the issuing of consent to install. The commencement of works is a matter for the developers. When an application is received by me it will be appropriately assessed prior to any decision being taken for any work to commence.
