My recollection is that when we were examining this issue approximately ten years ago, the Department carried out a detailed geological survey of all the areas around the Shannon Estuary. We drew a blank. There is no suitable carbon storage site anywhere close to the Shannon Estuary. Is that a further reason this does not make sense from an economic perspective in this estuary?
