Planning board refuses permission for €650m Shannon LNG terminal

The mayor of Kerry Jim Finucane said the board’s decision was “incomprehensible” and he has laid the responsibility on Green Party leader Eamon Ryan.

Asked about the decision on Friday morning, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said he had yet to see the ruling. “I’d like to read the decision and understand why that’s been made. It will come as a disappointment to a lot of people in North Kerry in particular because they were looking forward to that investment happening. I think there is a case for having gas storage.”

Under the plans, Shannon LNG sought 10-year permission for consisting of power plant, battery energy storage system, floating storage and regasification unit, jetty, onshore receiving facilities, above ground installation and all ancillary structures/works on 52ha on the southern shores of the estuary.
