There are two existing UK/Ireland treaties, or intergovernmental agreements, relating to the natural gas interconnectors from Scotland to Ireland.The two intergovernmental agreements were drawn up in respect of the construction and operation of the undersea gas interconnector pipelines between Scotland and Ireland that came into operation in 1993 and 2002 respectively.

The intergovernmental agreements also provide for a capacity allocation to Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man within the pipeline to Ireland.
