Local protestors delay gas development on the west coast of Ireland |
Large scale energy projects often provoke strong feelings within communities. Shell E. & P. Ltd is presently involved in a multi-million pound scheme developing a gas field of the west coast of Ireland.
In County Mayo a number of locals were imprisoned as a result of their opposition to an onshore pipeline Shell wishes to build as part of this project. The group have now been freed, but are still trying to prevent the work from going ahead. |
