On June the 2nd We were contacted by a group of local surfers, who had heard that Kinsale Energy was planning on closing Inch beach so that a new gas pipeline could be installed. This pipeline would take gas directly from a platform offshore to an existing site near Inch beach.
The Pipeline would cause the beach to be closed for a period and Local surfers fear that it may cause the beach to become un-surfable.
It is also believed that the construction of the new pipeline would be allowed as planning would not be required as a gas pipeline already exists, which the proposed new pipeline could run alongside of.
This is the project proposed by Kinsale Energy. http://www.kinsaleenergy.ie/downloads/Kinsale_Energy.pdf

Kinsale Energy are owned by a wider organisation called Petronas who are run by the Malaysian Government. If you type ‘Petronas and Murder’ or ‘Petronas Sudan’ into google you will find many interesting articles. I think it would be foolish for us to allow an organisation with a reputation like this anywhere near our precious beach! Their planning application will be going in early next year. Now is the time to build our arguments.
