A former Stormont Minister’s decision to approve a major gas storage development off the Co Antrim coast is to be quashed, the Court of Appeal ordered on Thursday.
Senior judges previously ruled that Edwin Poots acted irrationally in giving the go-ahead for plans to construct caverns under Larne Lough without referring the project to the Executive Committee.
