Environmental groups say the decision to block construction of a liquefied natural gas terminal for Kerry is 'an historic win' for Ireland.
An Bord Pleanála rejected an application for the Shannon LNG, saying it's 'against Government policy'.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says the Government will have to study the decision, with a review of Ireland's energy security to be published before the end of the month.
Kerry TD, Deputy Michael Healy Rae says the decision's left the North Kerry region in 'a state of devastation' - claiming the Government's replaced the plan with 'make it up as you go' policies for offshore wind farms that will take years to come on stream.
Tony Lowes from Friends of the Irish Environment says tackling the demand for gas should be the number one priority now.
