Martin Ferris (Kerry North, Sinn Fein)

I seek adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the ongoing delays in granting a foreshore licence for the Shannon liquid natural gas terminal project, which will create up to 400 badly needed jobs for the north Kerry and west Limerick area, and the fact that this is continuing despite previous promises to expedite the matter; that such an important project is being held up by bureaucracy and red tape at a time when the region is crying out for job creation and new enterprises; and the urgent need for the Ministers for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and Communications, Energy and Natural Resources to step in to ensure everything is done to end this unnecessary delay.
