New Oil & Gas Safety Framework to 'Learn Lessons of Gulf'
Ireland's new safety framework for oil and gas extraction and production will be informed by lessons learned after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, The Irish Times reports.
A report published last week by the Commission for Energy Regulation (CER) outlined that the framework will be developed over the next two years, will be independent of the Department of Energy, and will be implemented in an "open and transparent manner".
The report also highlighted overlaps - and gaps - between state agencies involved in monitoring or working with the oil and gas industry.
One step towards resolving this is the CER's new remit for public safety - which applies to controversial project such as the Corrib gas field.
