My Department is finalising the Terms of Reference of the proposed review of the security of Ireland's strategic access to oil.

The tender process has been completed for the joint study by my Department with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment for Northern Ireland on a common approach on natural gas storage and liquefied natural gas on an all-island basis. The two Departments are jointly finalising the selection of consultants. Both reports are expected in mid-2007.
