AI is a distraction from what it means to be truly human, says Dr David Bell. We should aim for far greater things, find again the vastness of the jewelled sky and the light that only shines in another's eye.

When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

Labour urges Norwegian government to discuss Corribb impasse with StatOil

category national | environment | press release author Wednesday August 03, 2005 11:24author by elaine - Labour Report this post to the editors

Labour meets with Norwegian officials to discuss Corribb impasse and condemns Minister Dempsey's recent decision to allow Shell to proceed with the construction of the off-shore section

In a meeting yesterday with the Charge d’affaire of the Norwegian Embassy Labour Spokesperson on Energy Deputy Tommy Broughan urged the Norwegian government, as Statoil’s majority shareholder, to urgently discuss the current Corrib impasse with the company.

Deputy Broughan commented, “I met with the Charge d’affaire of the Norwegian Embassy to discuss Statoil’s role in the Corrib gas pipeline project. After explaining at length the concerns of the people of North Mayo which led to the imprisonment of the Rossport 5, I was assured that the strong views outlined by myself at the meeting would be passed on to Statoil and also to the Norwegian government, which holds over 71% of Statoil’s shares.

“Statoil positions itself as a company with a strong sense of social responsibility and integrity, yet it is a 36% shareholder in the Corrib gas project. I will be meeting Statoil representatives later on the week to pursue this matter further and explore every avenue possible to help bring about a resolution of the dispute and ensure the five Rossport residents are released from prison as quickly as possible.

“Minister Dempsey must also call a halt to any offshore construction of the Corrib gas pipeline until all current issues relating to Shell’s breach of ministerial consents in relation to the onshore section of the pipeline have been thoroughly dealt with.

”Reports have indicated that the Minister will allow Shell to begin to construct the off-shore section of the pipeline, because the on-shore and off-shore sections of the pipeline are being treated as separate entities for the purposes of ministerial approval.

“Beginning the construction of the off-shore section without waiting for the conclusion of the latest health and safety review seems pointless and Shell itself has stated that the work will not resume until the review is over.”
