Dáil Protest Hears LNG Terminal Will Harm Clare Communities

A protest underway at Leinster House this lunchtime claims Clare communities will be put directly at risk under the government's LNG plans. It comes as the coalition is currently progressing the Strategic Gas Emergency Reserve Bill through the Dáil. The plans would include a Liquified Natural Gas Terminal which could cost up to €900m being located off the coast of Cahercon in Kildysart. Head of Policy with Friends of the Earth Jerry Mac Evilly has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan he believes it will have serious environmental and public health consequences.
