Stormont is facing legal action over controversial undersea gas caverns approved by Edwin Poots despite wildlife and climate concerns.
The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs minister gave Harland and Wolff Group, formerly Infrastrata, a marine license for the project near a Game of Thrones filming site ahead of COP26.
Mr Poots’ decision went against the advice of Northern Ireland’s Marine Taskforce and a bird expert within his own department.
