Calls For Clarity On Development Of National Gas Reserve In Kildysart
Published 1 month ago
Description
The Government is being urged to provide clarity on the potential consequences of delivering a national strategic gas reserve in West Clare. Cahiracon in Kildysart was selected as the location for the state's first ever back up gas supply last December. It’s expected the development will create 300 to 400 jobs during construction as well as 40 to 50 each year when operational. Kilrush Independent Councillor Ian Lynch, however, is concerned it could have negative implications for the Shannon Estuary, marine life and local residents.
