#coastal - At the High Court it is expected to rule next week on its judicial review on extending planning permission to build a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on the Shannon Estuary.

The judicial review hearings reports the Limerick Leader were held over several days last week and a ruling is expected on February 15.  

The ruling is likely to determine whether New Fortress Energy, the new backers of the project, can proceed to build the plant or whether they will have to apply for a new planning permission or abandon the plan altogether.

Environmentalists opposed to the project will hold a demonstration in Dublin (today), Sunday.
