Corrib Gas Partners welcome opening of Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Oral Hearing

There has been a large amount of information in the public domain in relation to the Corrib gas terminal and very often the facts have been misrepresented.  The Corrib Gas Partners are confident that when the facts are laid out, it will be clear that the terminal will operate to the highest safety standards and will not compromise the health, safety or well being of the local communities, staff, or contractors who live and work in the locality.  Nor will it have any adverse impact on the local environment.

In January 2007 the EPA made a proposed determination to grant the IPPC Licence and confirmed that emissions from the gas terminal, “will not adversely affect human health or the environment and will meet all relevant national and EU standards”, when operated in accordance with the conditions of the proposed determination.
