My name is 10:04 6 Michael Biggane and I am head of Human Resources and 7 Corporate Affairs with Shannon LNG. I hold a Diploma 8 in Industrial Engineering, a Higher Diploma in 9 Management Engineering and an MBA from UCG. 10 10:05 11 Prior to joining Shannon LNG in 2006, I held senior HR 12 positions for 25 years including that of Group HR and 13 PR for Irish National Petroleum Corporation, which 14 Whitegate Oil Refinery and Bantry Oil Storage Terminal. 15 Earlier positions included that of Personnel Director 10:05 16 with Sara Lee in Killarney and HR manager with 17 Burlington Industries in Tralee. 18 19 I have been responsible for setting out and managing 20 Shannon LNG's offices in Listowel which coordinates all 10:05 21 site related activities and community liaison. I have 22 worked closely with Shannon Development and the 23 Steering Group established by Ballylongford Enterprise 24 Association and Tarbert Development Association under 25 the chairmanship of Shannon Development to liaise with 10:05 26 Shannon LNG. 27 28 To keep the legal community informed of developments, 29 Shannon LNG held a number of meetings with the steering 5 Gwen Malone Stenography Services Ltd. 1 group, published a number of newsletters and held 2 information days. A number of visits to LNG terminals 3 were arranged. I participated in the preparation of 4 the Environmental Impact Statement, in particular 5 section 22 volume 1 and section 15 volume 2. 10:06 6 7 My principal points of evidence will cover: 8 1. Community information and consultation; 9 2. Employment. 10 10:06 11 Following the announcement of the proposed LNG terminal 12 in May 2006, the Ballylongford Enterprise Association 13 and Tarbert Development Association formed a steering 14 group under the chairmanship of Shannon Development to 15 ensure close communication with Shannon LNG. Meetings 10:06 16 with the steering group were held in June '06, October 17 '06 and March '07 and August '07. Newsletters on the 18 proposed LNG terminal were published in May '06, 19 December '06, May '07 and December '07. The 20 newsletters were distributed directly by Shannon LNG to 10:06 21 the householders immediately adjacent to the proposed 22 terminal and through the Ballylongford and Tarbert 23 associations to the wider community. 24 25 To promote community understanding of the project, in 10:07 26 March 2007 the Steering Group visited an LNG terminal 27 under construction in Milford Haven. In May '07 the 28 Steering Group visiting an operating LNG terminal in 29 Zeebrugge. In July '07 a group, including some of the 6 Gwen Malone Stenography Services Ltd. 1 residents close to the site, visited an operating LNG 2 terminal in Barcelona. 3 4 In April 07 Shannon LNG held two information days in 5 Ballylongford and Tarbert to inform the local community 10:07 6 about the plans for the project and to show 7 illustrations of the development on site during 8 construction and operation. The information days, 9 which had been advertised in the local newspapers, were 10 attended by 450 people over the two days. An 10:07 11 information day display boards booklet was produced for 12 the information days. Copies of the booklet were 13 distributed directly to immediate householders in 14 advance of the information days and on the information 15 days that those who attended. 10:08 16 17 In October '07 a public meeting arranged by the 18 steering group of the Tarbert and Ballylongford 19 Associations and chaired by Shannon Development was 20 held in Tarbert. The meeting was attended by 10:08 21 approximately 200 people and Shannon LNG addressed all 22 questions raised. 23 24 Employment. The proposed development will be of 25 significant economic benefit to the North Kerry region. 10:08 26 During the construction phase, profitable business 27 opportunities will arise for contractors. The 28 construction work force will average 350 for four years 29 with a peak of circa 650 personnel. Shannon LNG will 7 Gwen Malone Stenography Services Ltd. 1 employ approximately 50 permanent staff. Additional 2 contract staff and service personnel will be engaged in 3 the terminal as needed. 4 5 Senior management in the terminal will be people with 10:09 6 considerable experience in the LNG natural gas or 7 energy industry. Shannon LNG will recruit and train 8 staff for shift supervisor and terminal operations 9 roles. It is expected that a high proportion of staff 10 will be recruited from the North Kerry region. The 10:09 11 arrival of approximately two LNG ships per week will 12 increase shipping activity on the estuary with 13 increased demand for the services of tugs, line 14 handling crews, pilots and Shannon Foynes Port Company 15 staff. It is anticipated that at least 50 jobs will be 10:09 16 generated in the wider economy in service and supplier 17 companies in addition to the 50 staff directly employed 18 by Shannon LNG at the terminal. 19 20 In addition to the direct employment during the 10:09 21 construction phase, there will be substantial offsite 22 employment and economic activity associated with the 23 supply of construction materials and services during 24 the construction phase. 25 10:10 26 In the longer term, the terminal will become the anchor 27 development on the Shannon Development land bank, 28 potentially attracting other industries and investment 29 to the region. 8 Gwen Malone Stenography Services Ltd. 1 Response to Submissions. 2 3 Property values and home insurance. A number of 4 submissions have expressed a concern that the proposed 5 LNG terminal would diminish property values post 10:10 6 construction and one submission has expressed concern 7 that home insurance could be negatively impacted. 8 9 Response: There is no credible evidence to suggest 10 that there would be any negative impact on property 10:10 11 values as a result of this development. Neither is 12 there any credible evidence to suggest that the 13 proposed development could impact in any way on home 14 insurance in the vicinity. 15 10:10 16 Experience in Whitegate in Co.

I first joined the Volunteers at Kilflynn when they were first formed there in the year 1913. Two Ten, ex-British soldiers named Collins and Sheehy, were the drill instructors. The strength of the Company was about 100 men. About August, 1914 our two drill instructors as well as a number of men in the Company were called up as they were on the British Army Reserve. This, as well as Redmond's call on the Volunteers to defend the shores of Ireland, was the cause of the breaking up of the Company and it ceased to exist. It was not, until early 19l7, that the Volunteers were reorganised at Learn, Lixnaw. I and a few other men in the area had got into touch with members of a Volunteer Company which had been in existence in Tralee for some time previously, so we decided to reorganise the Lixnaw Company. Our first Company Captain was Tom Shanahan.
