An Bord Pleanala,

Dublin 1.
Direct Planning Application to An Bord Pleanala in Respect of a Strategic Infrastructure Development
Case reference: PL08 .PA0002 (liquefied natural gas regasification terminal proposed for Ralappane and Kilcolgan Lower, Co. Kerry)

Name of Person (or agent) making submission/observation: John Smith
Address to which Correspondence should be sent: Kilcolgan, Tarbert, Co. Kerry
Subject matter of submission or observation: Proposed LNG Terminal

Reasons/Considerations/Arguments:

1. Safety: I believe that the Risk Assessment conducted was insufficient and does not fully acknowledge the threat to residents of a major accident/spill/leak at the plant.
2. Visual Impact: The magnitude of these tanks is not fully understood by local people. At 96m in diameter and 50m in height they will be an unacceptable blight on the landscape that fronts onto a candidate Special Area of Conservation.
3. Environment: Shannon LNG Plan to use millions of gallons of Seawater to Regasify the LNG this will be chlorinated and released back in to the Estuary and inevitably will kill marine life.
4. Property Values: As stated heretofore the presence of a terminal will instil fear into any prospective purchasers and the market will decline. It is accepted that there will be short term rental opportunities but the threat, visual impact and prison like boundary treatment will act to deter people from living in this rural area.
