Press Release - Shell to Sea delegation meet Ministers Ryan & Ó Cuiv

category mayo | environment | press release author Monday September 29, 2008 20:25author by Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

For immediate press release
8pm, Monday 29th Sept 2008

Today at noon a delegation of 6 Shell to Sea representatives met with Minister Eamon Ryan and Minister Eamon Ó Cuiv.

While it had been hoped by the delegation that this latest meeting might be an attempt to find a resolution to the ill-conceived Corrib Gas project; unfortunately the Ministers refused to give a commitment that this project wouldn't proceed without the consent of the receiving community.

Minister Ryan stated that he wanted to ensure that this project was safe, not environmentally damaging and legal. He was left in no doubt by the delegation that in fact this project failed on all 3 counts.

Speaking after the meeting, Terence Conway said "The way that this project has been split breaches EU law, the damage done to a Special Area of Conservation is plain to see for anyone who visits Glengad, and running a raw gas production pipeline through unstable land and a residential area certainly can't be called safe.

Also speaking after the meeting, local resident Niall King stated, "We will not accept our community being sacrificed for the profits of a multi-national company. Anyone who looks closely into the dealings behind this project can see the way that multinationals interfere with the running of the country and which undermines our very democracy"

The Shell to Sea delegation ended the meeting by stating that no raw gas pipeline that runs through Glengad and Rossport would ever be acceptable.
