Tom Shehan (Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his commitment to the Shannon LNG project, for which County Kerry is waiting. It has been in the pipeline for a number of years. This is the language being used by the company in opposition to the levy. I wish the Minister well in seeking a speedy resolution of the problems caused by the imposition of the levy - the language used in the Bill - on future development. I refer specifically to the Shannon LNG development project in that regard. I wish the Minister all the best in his negotiations and hope we will see the beginning of the development sooner rather than later. I would like it to start in the very near future.
