Rossport: One Week on Road Block Continues with more drama in the compound, plus court details

category mayo | environment | news report author Tuesday June 28, 2005 16:23author by Terry, plus long distance report from John M. - Shell to Seaauthor email info at shelltosea dot com Report this post to the editors

Narrow roads, septic tanks and the four courts, the saga continues, one week into the Shell truck blockade.

A number of local residents made an appointment to meet Paddy Mahon, Mayo CoCo senior engineer, in the Shell-Statoil-Roadbridge-Sicim compound in Rossport this morning about 11 a.m. This relates to the discovery last week of a septic tank in the compound. This is as under planning law a septic tank cannot be excluded from planning permission - this one doesn't have permission and is also too close to the estuary to be legal.

The tank had evidence of tampering with, and Mahon claimed it was just a 'storage facility' as he had been told by the developers in the first place. However the residents refused to accept this as they had evidence to the contrary - basically a septic tank has to have a pipe going in and one going out, a storage unit only the one going in, and there was an effort to obscure the outflow pipe.

The residents refused to move until Mahon - who had left - came back out and their concerns were satisfied. The Garda were called and there was a bit of noise about tresspassing, ultimatly Mahon came back and currently a JCB is unearthing the septic tank. Shell-Statoil-Roadbridge-Sicim have now changed their story to saying that the facility was designed as a spetic tank, but not used as one.

Meanwhile the vigil on the road preventing trucks from entering the compound in protest at the complete lack of a traffic management plan is continuing and is now a week old. Supporters from Louth, Galway, and Ballina have joined residents and more are very welcome.


Tomorrow is court day: High Court this Wednesday 29th June at 11am. Ask at Four Courts reception
which court is hearing Shell Oil V's McGrath and others.

Well Done for exposing Shell, lets hope that it opens a few more eyes to these scumbags. Residents of Rossport should now see what we are dealing with, come on show some support for these great people its about time you did. We should unite and send Shell packing, lets think about what we stand to loose. Open the front door and take in that wonderful view are you willing to loose all this. Wishing you the Best of Luck in court today, looking forward to some progress in the right direction. Keeping our fingers crossed here in Kent.

Extract: In a week where Shell E&P Ireland has been vociferously defending its record on health and safety and planning matters, the company has been found to have constructed an apparent unauthorised development at its compound in Rossport.
Mayo Co Council has confirmed that it served warning notices on Shell and construction company, Roadbridge Ltd late last week in relation to an apparent unauthorised septic tank at the Rossport compound.
