EPA turns down oral hearing request on Corrib gas project licence
Lorna Siggins: Friday, 3 July 2015
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has turned down requests for an oral hearing into a revised licence sought byShell E&P Ireland for the Corrib gas project in north Mayo.
The revised licence covering atmospheric and marine emissions from the Corrib gas refinery is one of the last State authorisations required before the project becomes fully operational.
Shell had received its original EPA licence in 2007, but sought a review after it agreed to a demand by Erris fishermen that “treated produced water” from the refinery be discharged out at the well head, rather than some 12 km offshore.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
