Need for Community Benefit for Larne Lough Gas Storage Project
Ulster Unionist MLA Roy Beggs Jnr has commented on news that the DoE Has awarded planning permission for the construction of gas storage in salt caverns under Larne Lough at Islandmagee. The East Antrim MLA said: “It was always likely that one of the several underground gas storage projects which have been proposed in the East Antrim area would be given the green light to go ahead. It appears to me that a decision has been made some time ago, at a high strategic level, that Northern Ireland needs natural gas storage facilities. I understand that the test bore holes recently drilled at Ballyvallagh, above Glenoe showed that the storage of gas there was not geologically feasible, so the Islandmagee project became much more likely to be approved. I would have concerns that no full boreholes have yet been drilled and tested by the Islandmagee/Portland gas company, so there is … Continue reading

‘Modern slavery’ a factor in rising school absentee rates
The Ulster Unionist representative last week won cross-party support for an Assembly motion calling on the First and Deputy First Minister to take affirmative action on the causes of absenteeism. Mr Beggs produced statistics which showed that the areas with the highest levels of absenteeism are predominantly Protestant, including some of the more deprived wards in the Larne Borough Council area. The East Antrim MLA portrayed a frightening picture of the background of some of those children who have less than 85 per cent attendance at school – the point at which they are referred to an education welfare officer. “Recently,” he revealed, “paramilitary loan sharks have been creating an ongoing issue in my community.
