At the request of Deputy Emmet Stagg, Minister of State, Bord Gáis Éireann has carried out a detailed investigation of the possibility of a major extension of the natural gas network to a number of areas, including Galway. The board has recently furnished a detailed report in that regard. The report is currently being studied in my Department.
