Irish Times: Dempsey may allow offshore pipe to be laid
“The company said yesterday it was “carefully studying” the content of the letter received from Mr Dempsey on Sunday night in which he ordered that the 3km length of pipeline already welded in breach of consents be dismantled.”: “A tighter monitoring regime established from the outset of the project would have spotted any breaches in consents much earlier, according to Mark Garavan, spokesman for the men and the Shell to Sea campaign. He said it also had serious implications for the information presented by Shell to the High Court when obtaining its injunction against landowners objecting to the onshore pipeline. The company had at all times claimed that it was adhering to all consents issued, but this was clearly not the case, Mr Garavan added.”:

Minister for the Marine Noel Dempsey is under pressure now to grant Shell E&P Ireland approval to proceed to lay the offshore section of the Corrib gas pipeline, even as his new safety measures for the onshore pipeline are being put in place.
Shell E&P Ireland would neither confirm nor deny yesterday that it has applied to lay the 70km offshore section of the pipeline linking the Corrib gas field well head to the shoreline at north Mayo.
