Un-answered questions

SHELL, TRUTH and the LUDDITES

The Late Late show’s examination of the subject left questioned unanswered.



Pyle says it is now time to sit down and talk to the five men. To do this he must either lift the injunction or go to Cloverhill prison.

Pyle says that Shell can not lift the injunction against the five men in Cloverhill prison as the injunction is against more than the 5 and because of this Shell could not go back to court and get another injunction if they lifted this one. (Is this true?)
Shell has legal entitlements and all permissions for the work. (If so, why was work stopped?)

Pyle says that pipelines have good safety record. (Is this true in Nigeria?)

Pyle says that the Corrib gas is very high quality and only need some liquids taken out before it is pumped further. (If so, why not refine it at sea then as it is only a small job and the high quality gas is very profitable?)

Mark Garavan said the dangerous part of the pipeline was exempt from planning permission. (Could this be true?)

Finally, is Pat Kenny a Luddite?
