Dempsey says Shell breached his consent

"News just in" on RTE radio one: Minister for Marine Noel Dempsey has announced that an inspection in Rossport by his Department this week has found that Shell breached ministerial consent on its pipeline work.

More details will follow.
A Shell to Sea campaigner in Rossport I just spoke to wonders whether this is damage-limitation spin by the Minister to make it look as though his department is getting tough on Shell. She says Shell has until Wednesday to respond to the Minister and that this is the day after the Rossport Five are next due in court... and that there may be some significance to this.
