AN Taisce has called on An Bord Pleanála to adjourn the ongoing hearing into the controversial Corrib gas project, in Belmullet, to facilitate legal requirements under EU legislation.
In an 80-page submission on behalf of the national trust, Ms Attracta Uí Bhroin said on Friday last either the hearing must be adjourned or new information by Shell must be disallowed.
Citing the particular pertinence of ‘the very technical nature of the new borehole log information, presented by the applicant after the hearing reconvened’, she noted that observers did not have time to properly assess this, as was their legal right. She referred to requirements under Directive 85/337/EEC.
