By Email only to: bord@Pleanála.ie Re: GA0003 - Gas pipeline to connect Shannon LNG Terminal at Ralappane, Co. Kerry to existing natural gas network at Leahys, Co. Limerick and DA0003 - Application for an acquisition order for the Shannon LNG Terminal at Tarbert, Co. Kerry to the Bord G áis Eireann Network at Foynes, County Limerick Dear Sir / Madam, The Kicolgan Residents Association represents nearby residents of the proposed LNG regasification terminal and people with close family and economic ties to the area. The ‘Safety Before LNG’ group represents people from both Kilcolgan and the wider community and is advocating responsible strategic siting of LNG terminals in areas which do not put people’s health and safety in danger. See attached signed submissions by Ms. Kathy Sinnott M.E.P1 and Mr. Tony Lowes for “Friends of the Irish Environment”2 on whose behalf this submission is also, therefore, being made. We are hereby formally objecting to the proposed Shannon LNG Natural Gas pipeline and compulsory acquisition order, referenced above, in their entirety, on health, safety, environmental and strategic planning grounds. In May 2006 Shannon LNG, a subsidiary of the American Hess Corporation, announced an option to purchase, subject to planning, the lands at Kilcolgan owned by Shannon Development, of which Councillor John Brassil was a director, to construct an LNG terminal for a price believed by us to be in the region of 28.1 million euros3.
