controversial scheme continues Shell are starting the dredging operation to begin laying the offshore part of the production pipeline to pump the raw gas from the Corrib field to their installation at Bellanaboy. The project has been criticised for separating the planning aspects of the offshore pipeline from the nine kilometres of onshore production pipeline which they want to cross the bog landscape and special areas of conservation around Rossport, county Mayo.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Here's a picture of the M/V VLAANDEREN 7 moored just off Inver. There is currently a garda boat patrolling Broadhaven bay along with other Shell boats.
Along with the unwelcome visitors, a school of dolphins has also been spotted in the area.

Nothing more satisfying than progress
Great to see this work finally moving on, these protestors have nothing better to do with their time.
Well done to all the people involved with this project you are a credit to Ireland.
Railroading through the planning process. Bullying the local people- threatening them with prison and following up the threats.
Forcing your will on people by using brute force.
Creeping politicians and hangers on promising support and then disappearing, or offering dead end panaceas to a frightened and beaten-down population.
Destruction of wildlife and the environment.
Bribery. Corruption. Lies.
Progress? It looks like the same old same old story in rural Ireland.
Here's a few pictures taken over the weekend when 3 of us went down to investigate the survey drilling that is currently taking place on Srawaddacon estuary which is supposedly a Specially Protected Area. A bunch of the heavies arrived down but subsequently left, after getting an earful, as this is a public area. Overall we had 17 security and 2 gardaí overlooking our inspection of the area, that Shell plan to tunnel under to place their pipeline.
