“Since the proposed project began, your company and/or agents acting on your behalf have been directly responsible for and/or suspected of… Video surveillance of bathers including children at the local beaches. Video surveillance of people in their homes.”

Dear John,

Regards to yourself and my best wishes to your father. Below is the text of the letter to Shell referred to in today’s Irish Times (13th Apr.’10) which you have on your website. Your many readers, including Shell ‘reputation managers’ may be interested in the full text. I have also sent copy as attachment to email as that may be easier to transfer to your site.

Thank you, Maura Harrington.

Stuff.co.nz By PETER KERR – BusinessWire Last updated 14:11 13/04/2010

Shares of Infratil slipped 1.1 percent to $1.76, having reached an eight-month high on Monday. read more
