Production ceased at the Kinsale and Seven Heads gas fields in July 2020 and two earlier phases of the decommissioning project were granted on 26 April 2019 and 26 February 2022. A consent application in respect of the next phase of decommissioning was received by my Department on 14 October 2021 and is under consideration by my Department. A decision on the application, once made, will be posted on the gov.ie website and will be posted in a national newspaper.
