The Church of England may not still be the Conservative Party at prayer, but the US Catholic Church, with its pro-migrant messages, certainly seems to be the religious wing of the Democratic Party, says Prof Roger Watson.

Bord Pleanála shows some concern over landslide worries

category mayo | environment | other press author Sunday August 03, 2008 12:38author by IT Reader Report this post to the editors

Lorna Siggins in the Irish Times reports that Bord Pleanála has asked for extensive further information from Shell about their plan to install a production pipeline linking the offshore Corrib gas field with the refinery they are trying to build nine kilometres inland.

Many people fear that the planning procedure will be a simple "rubber stamp" exercise, since the original planning decision that the project was unsuitable for the area was overturned by the planning board on appeal. Since then, Shell has been supported at every step by all arms of the government, despite the fact that the project clearly lacks local consent.

Bord Pleanála queries impact of new Corrib pipeline route

AN BORD PLEANÁLA has asked Shell's consultants for extensive additional information on its application to re-route the Corrib gas onshore pipeline. Significantly, the appeals board has focused on the development's impact on the stability of ground in the area.

It is also seeking information on potential habitat impact, and the "cumulative impact of the development, having regard to the other elements of the Corrib gas field development".

The appeals board has asked for details on the impact of the onshore pipeline on any extension of the life of the wellfields, or "extensification" of the wellfields upstream of the onshore pipeline.

Critics of the project believe the Corrib gas onshore refinery at Bellanaboy will be a base for a more extensive refinery, involving further onshore pipelines extending from additional finds offshore.
