I propose to answer Questions Nos. 234 and 238 together.
As Deputies will be aware, I have commissioned an independent safety review of the onshore, upstream section of the Corrib gas pipeline. The consultants, Advantica, have critically examined all relevant documentation on the design, construction and operation of the pipeline and the associated facilities.
This review included a public consultation process and a public hearing in north-west Mayo. I have received this review in draft form, and it will be published at the beginning of December, following its presentation to the community in the area of the pipeline. The mediator, Peter Cassells, will chair this presentation and the consultants from Advantica will also be present to answer questions.
The consultants have been forwarded copies of the reports published by the Centre for Public Inquiry, and will be in a position to comment on these, where these reports refer to pipeline safety in their final report.
