Disturbing Words

Liamy MacNally on Corrib Gas Conflict Developments

Respected commentator Liamy MacNally wrote an interesting column on the Corrib gas scheme in The Mayo News this week.

He does a good job of getting to grips with the various strands of the conflict regarding the production pipeline, gas pressure, the history of the Glinsk proposal, and Minister Eamon Ryan's responsibilities.

He also raises the leaked minuttes of an internal Shell meeting where the fact that the refinery had been denied planning permission (in 2002) and the intriguing response of company's executives to this setback.

Home thoughts from abroad

De Facto
Liamy MacNally

The Irish Government has serious thinking to do on the Corrib gas project. In a US court are the minutes of a meeting, held in London, of a Committee of Royal Dutch Shell Managing Directors on Monday and Tuesday, July 22 and 23, 2002. It is US Case 3:04-cv-00374-JAP-JJH, Document 403-2 Filed 20/11/2007 (Royal Dutch Shell). The following is an extract: "It was noted that development of the Corrib field may be delayed until 2004 as planning consent has been refused for the terminal. The Committee queried whether the Group has sufficiently well-placed contacts with the Irish government and regulators. Paul Skinner undertook to explore this issue further in consultation with the Country Chairman in Ireland."

These are disturbing words.
