Leitrim Councillor Criticizes Government's LNG Terminal Plans at Shannon
NATURAL GAS
The Irish government has confirmed plans to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at Shannon, raising concerns among anti-fracking campaigners in the North West. Leitrim Independent Councillor Eddie Mitchell, who has voiced opposition to fracked gas for years, described the government's decision as reckless. This development is expected to disappoint those who successfully advocated for a ban on fracking in the region.
