Jump To Comment: 1 2 3there seems to be a completley new route in the short list http://www.shell.com/static/ie-en/downloads/exploration...7.pdf
route "C" is almost totally in water, I dont believe that route was shown before!
it's the green square and you can be sure it's a lot bigger on the ground than it is depicted here on their PR (maps on pages 5, 9, 11 and 13 of the document).
Anyone who's been down there will know that the boundary extends as far west as the road from Bellanaboy Bridge down to Pollatomish. It also extends some further distance to the north (I'm not so sure about its true eastern extent, perhaps a local can enlighten me).
Again, Shell appear to be downplaying the size of their operation. Perhaps somebody would like to take this up with Lorraine Herity, who's the Consultation Team Manager at the RPS Project Office in Belmullet. You can call her on 097 20720.
"The Rossport Five’s Vincent McGrath is also on the sidelines. He warns: “There’s a long way to go yet before Shell realises this won’t work. They still have to try to force a new pipeline though private lands and a hostile community.”"

If they go with route "3" there is no private land, (only at landfall and they have consent from landowner there, so how can they stop it now.
