Stokey that's good news re SSE wind farm might get some work like you say
Chrisatrdg ref 11.22 post The only draw back is that they are not due to apply for planning permission until next year so we are looking at 2024 for construction to start.
Hi stokey12 - I have just posted on LinkedIn is response - 'Brilliant news bodes well for H&W at Methil facility clearly an imaginative acquisition by Harland & Wolff Group Holdings Ltd.'
Edit: 'Things can only getting better.'
Just seen this looks like SSE are building a new windfarm https://www.linkedin.com/posts/activity-6845290000205000704-ZLNj. The text of the post says
Fantastic to see another wind farm close by our Methil facility #renewables #harlandandwolff #energy #wind
Stokey, aha, yes! That made me laugh.
Thought so Stokey thanks. In any case, I firmly believe it bodes well we are getting a mention. Time will tell :)
Jabido ref 09.54 post I think that BJ used the wrong force multiplier to get to the number of apprentices. I think the actual number is significantly lower than that.
Thanks for the posts guys, I'm struggling to find a link to the 1000 apprentices Boris quotes. That's a huge number. Could it be we have retained details of 1000 applicants for future positions? Or has Boris linked it to the 15000 positions kindly posted in links below? Or is Boris as usual just making it up? In any case, it's a clear sign we are still front and centre to ship building going forward, so although u have to take what Boris says with a pinch of salt, it's surely hugely positive to continue to be mentioned by the PM and the shipping tsar than not at all
Regarding pipeline ,would we not ship it to day the barrow base infra still have the license for I think or maybe use the gas pipe from Ireland to Stranraer
Excellent find Gents it would also tie in with the 15000 free college places

With courses available for all the trades H & W will require

I wonder if they will all qualify for the £4K for taking apprentices on ?

CharlieSays ref 08.13 post I have checked the Hansard record and it was accurately recorded. I note it was in response to a question from Jim Shannon MP. In my 07.36 post I was not referring to theyworkforyou but to the PM I do not find him very reliable. I am still waiting for him to make good on what he said at the time INFA bought Appledore.
Alberto, amazing, that was fast! Video of the man himself saying those exact words out loud.

Stokey: What kind of source are you looking for to see that information reflected on the Boris quote? It would be great if your research could provide a secondary verification, so let us know what you find.
I think its a reasonable piece of research, the site has no agenda where they'd need to quote about Harland and Wolff.
CharlieSays ref 07.29 post Thanks for this i have not seen this before. Unfortunately I would need the information from a more reliable source.
Not sure if anyone has already posted this:

Boris JohnsonThe Prime Minister, Leader of the Conservative Party, The Prime Minister 10:30 am, 16th September 2021Of course Northern Ireland will play its part, not least in the shipbuilding strategy that will follow after the spending review. I should have made more of that. I am delighted to say that Harland and Wolff has, as I understand it, just taken on another 1,000 apprentices for the first time in a very long time to get ready for exactly that strategy.

From INFAs point of view upon a ML licence they would/could recieve investment into the £300m project very quickly and recover at the worst case scenario the £15 min already invested ?
According to infa they have covered all concerns and have top barrister on board so I'm sure the decision by The minister is fairly cut and dried.Two or more years is ridiculous to get this sorted.any concerns could have been passed onto infa by now and dealt with accordingly.Storage underground is a safe method and the discharge of brine into the sea the only concern as I understand it and extending a pipe seems a relatively easy solution.
Re IM Chitta this was also mentioned in recent debate
I am under the impression that, should I approve the application, I will be challenged judicially, and, if I refuse the application, I will be challenged judicially. I have to make a decision based on the information provided to me, not on whether one or other party will challenge me judicially thereafter. If I make a decision and one or other party challenges that decision, it is for that party to demonstrate that I have not been rational and have not done all the things that I should have done as a Minister. Who knows what would happen thereafter?
You can take that eitherway however which way he calls it he will be able to back his decision in a court of law so it will be a very expensive process to dispute
I have read all the evidence from two parties regarding saline discharge for MLat a worse case scenario and both fall within permitted resrictions .

Be interesting to see how it all plays out.Infa spending money in a way that suggests they know some significant funding is waiting in the wings..It seems ridiculous the time the ML has taken and smells fishy .whatever the differing views and theories it does seem that infa is on the cusp.
