Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Messages to Dáil and Seanad

Mr. Declan Burke:

No. In normal operation, the regulation station does not give rise to emissions However, there is a device inside it called the relief valve that does cause emissions. Essentially, with the compliance with safety regulations, rather than it emitting gas or releasing gas inside the district regulating station, Gas Networks Ireland is piping the gas to the vent stack, to a height of 2.5 m, so it dissipates safely into the atmosphere. Therefore, it is not a nuisance factor at ground level or for passersby.
