Shell expert claims he hasn't yet had sex with Andy Pyle

category mayo | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Friday May 04, 2007 01:17author by IT Reader Report this post to the editors

There's still time...

As the General Election looms, and the EPA hearing draws to a close, Áine Ryan draws a few conclusions about the current state of play in Corrib saga in the current edition of the Mayo news.

She points out that Shell have no approved route for their pipeline, and when they come up with one (if they ever do) they will have to go through the whole process again.

They also have to deal with the fact that politicians like Martin Ferris and Tommy Broughan could well be in the government next month, and the Shell to Sea campaign, although shaken by police brutality, has not gone away...

Next government may solve Corrib debacle

Analysis
Áine Ryan

MOMENTS of humour have been rare at the high-octane Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) hearing into the issuing of an Integrated Pollution Prevention Control licence for the Corrib gas project. So when Shell witness Dr David Phillips, an expert in marine pollution control, broke the tension, the brief relief rippled through the room like a mini-tornado. Shell to Sea’s John Monaghan was cross-examining three scientists, and intimating that despite their declared objectivity, they clearly enjoyed ‘a cosy, even incestuous, relationship’ with the giant company. “Well, we haven’t had sex yet,” retorted Dr Philips drily.

Seems like they are slow and gentle lovers they want to make sure their bog is wet before penetrating with their throbbing high pressure pipe. Looks like they are going for the wrong hole however and they are more interesting in giving this community a ride in the ass. (not to offend those who are that way inclined)

good video below from Al Jazera... next the campaign will be linked to Islamic Jihad

Actually JM was questioning Dr David Phillips,on whether he knew prof mathessies who appeared for the fishermen, as they are both eco-toxicologists from the uk.
I honestly don't know why Áine Ryan pretended it was something else.
JM asked Dr David Phillips, if he knew professor mattheissen, to which Phillips replied yes, he knew him for 20 yrs.
JM went on to ask, was it not strange that he (Phillips) was working for shell, and professor mattheissen (a person known to him) in his report had concluded the discharge "probably wouldn't cause any damage to the marine environment" (implying mattheissin may have been "bought" by shell).
It was at this stage Phillips realized what JM was implying and made the remark "we haven't slept together yet" referring to his friendship with mattheissin.
It had nothing to do with Andy Pile, and I request JM clarifies that fact, and also explains why he tried to suggest matthiessin was involved in a conspiracy with shell.
Remembering the fact matthesin was here to suggest a proper monitoring regime, and several times tried to get off the subject of his report and speak about monitoring.
All of us who was present at the hearing on that day know exactly what happened and what was said.
Now JM please explain why you engaged in that line of questioning?.

Firefighters still at scene of Mayo blaze
Monday, 11 June 2007 08:58

Firefighters in Co Mayo are still at the scene of a forest fire that broke out yesterday evening.

They say dry conditions are likely to have caused the blaze, which is around 2-3km from the Corrib Gas terminal at Bellanaboy.

Extensive damage has been caused to the Coillte-owned forest and efforts are under way to bring the fire under control.

Last night a spokesman for the Shell to Sea campaign group said the blaze was a cause of serious concern as those opposing the terminal had always claimed it was a mistake to locate it in an area surrounded by forestry.
