information on habitats left off maps shown to specialist advisors According to Sunday's Daily Mail, Shell misled the experts who were tasked with assessing the company's planning application for the proposed onshore pipeline route. According to Ms.Fossitt, the company simply excluded from maps those protected habitats likely to be affected by the development . It was only when she visited the area that she realised the deception which had been carried out. |

DeFacto
Liamy MacNally
"SHELL does not want Mr Kevin Moore, an inspector with An Bord Pleanála, to be in charge of its current application for amendments to the refinery planning permission currently before the planning appeals board. Mr Moore was the chair of the oral hearing for the original Corrib refinery planning application and published a damning report about the proposed location of the refinery at Bellanaboy. Planning permission was refused. Shell re-applied and was granted permission later. Now Shell has formally requested, through its agents, Tom Phillips & Associates, ‘that Senior Planning Inspector, Mr Kevin Moore, is not assigned as the planning inspector in relation to this appeal’.
"When questioned about this, a senior Shell employee was quick to refute the claim. When it was pointed out that the company had actually made such a request the employee said he would find out more information. Why is it becoming a feature of some senior Shell personnel to rush into answers that are incorrect instead of simply stating they do not know the answer and will attempt to find out? This has happened on more than one occasion in interviews with journalists."
