I would like to inform the Deputy that a consultant has been appointed to review the quantified risk assessment, QRA, of the Corrib gas onshore pipeline. The consultant's report is expected to be received shortly.

My officials are at present completing their assessment of the developers' application to install and commission the onshore pipeline. The decision in relation to this application will not be finalised until the consultant's report in relation to the QRA has been received and assessed. I should also add that the consultant's report will be put into the public domain in north Mayo and on the Department's website as soon as possible after receipt.
