I understand that the Deputy is seeking information relating to elements of the Consents to Install and Commission the pipeline which is a condition of the Consent to Construct a pipeline given under Section 40 of the Gas Act 1976 as amended.

In view of ongoing Court proceedings in relation to the Consent to Construct a pipeline, in which I have been joined as a party, there are certain aspects of this that are sub judice. Furthermore, it is also possible following the publication of the Advantica and TAG reports and my decisions in relation to the recommendations of these reports, there could be further changes that may be required to be made by the developers in relation to certain aspects of the pipeline proposal. Accordingly, I am not in a position to provide the information requested by the Deputy at this stage.
