Amharc ar fhreagraAll relevant approvals-consents from the Minister of State, Deputy Fahey, were issued in early 2002 in respect of the proposed development of the Corrib gas field.

I can confirm that the approval-consent letters as listed are the only letters that were issued by the Minister of State, Deputy Fahey. The conditions attaching to these approval-consents were placed on the Department's website.
