An Bord Pleanala announced on Tuesday a deferral of the decision on the Corrib Gas onshore Pipeline, citing 14 conditions which cast huge doubt over claims from Shell that the project is safe. In the third delay on the decision regarding this pipeline, which was originally due on August 10, the Bord have highlighted hugely important safety concerns which are at the heart of the community's objections to the imposition of the Corrib Gas Project on the area. An Bord Pleanala stated that the documentation provided by Shell 'does not present a complete, transparent and adequate demonstration that the pipeline does not provide an unacceptable risk to the public'. |

Saturday October 22nd, 2005
Lorna Siggins, Marine Correspondent & Patrick Logue
An "experimental gas pipeline - unwanted by local people" in Co Mayo - fetched all of eight bids on the eBay Internet auction site yesterday before it was declared an "invalid" item.
The "used" pipeline at Rossport was placed on eBay at 10pm on Thursday, with bids starting at 1.50 and making 21 by yesterday morning.
The item was described as a "large welded steel pipeline intended to pump raw untreated odourless (and extremely dangerous) natural gas from the bottom of the sea through a residential area on Ireland's beautiful and historic north-west coast".
It was further described as "unsuitable for present location on health and safety grounds" and "illegally placed on site without consent of government or local people". Its condition was "slightly rusty" and its length was "three kilometres", with "another six kilometres if anyone wants it".
"The people of Ireland have reacted a bit preciously to the idea of a few of them being blown up while Shell make a lot of money taking their natural resources, heaven knows why," the posting continued. The auction date was set at 21 hours GMT on October 30th.

Here are the consequence maps produced by Shell at the ABP oral hearing this year, showing ruptures at the higher pressures anticipated on the proposed Corrib gas pipeline.
Glengad rupture - 345/144
Rossport rupture1 - 144
Rossport rupture2 - 144
Rossport rupture3 - 144
If Shell have paid RPS for this fiasco it's a bigger ripoff than than John o' Donoghue's gold-plated jocks.
I'm doubting $Hell would pay from their own pocket, when most of their expenses have been met by taxpayers. A little creative accounting could put it all on the D of "R & D".
"The design documentation . . . does not present a complete, transparent and adequate demonstration that the pipeline does not pose an unacceptable risk to the public." – An Bord Pleanála, 15 years into the Corrib gas project.
