AN BORD Pleanála has deferred its decision on the penultimate stage of the Corrib gas project until the new year.
The board’s decision on a third pipeline route, submitted by Shell under the Strategic Infrastructure Act, was expected before the end of this month.
The application, which would involve tunnelling under Sruwaddaccon estuary, a special area of conservation, was the subject of an oral hearing that concluded on October 1st.
