Specific Criteria Fulfilled Comments
Ireland currently fails the EU's Infrastructure Standard N-1 test under Regulation EU 994 of 2010 and has to rely on a regional approach with
Great Britain (GB) to pass this important test. The Shannon LNG project, at full capacity, would allow Ireland to pass the N-1 test and provide
the added benefit of increasing the resilience of the GB system. This will also have the effect of increasing the resilience of the Great Britain gas
supply system as approximately 5 billion cubic metres per annum of demand could be removed from the GB System. The UK's DECC published
a National Preventive Action Plan in November 2012 in line with the requirements of Regulation (EU) 994/2010.The DECC report stated (page
19) the following with respect to the impact of the Shannon LNG project on Northern Ireland (part of the UK) ´Additionally the CAG project
also aims to develop a regional gas market within the context of the wider EU Internal Market in gas where Northern Ireland gas consumers
could access
