Thoisigh obair le haghaidh tógáil móna ó shuíomh an chríochfoirt. D’fhoilsigh Shell pleananna ó thaobh bhainistiú tráchta fhad is a bheadh an obair seo ar siúl.
Aibreán 2005
Cuireadh gníomhartha ar bun san Ard-Chúirt chun cosc a chur ar chónaitheoirí cur isteach nó bac a chur le hobair tógála an phíblíne i Ros Dumhach. Thug an Ard-Chúirt cead do Shell dul ar thalamh príobháideach leis an phíblíne a chur ar aghaidh. Ag an am seo tháinig an scéal chun solais gur fhostaigh Shell comhlacht a bhfuil an-chuid scaranna acu ann, gur fhostaigh siad an chomhlacht seo le haghaidh fiosrucháin 'neamhspléaigh' a chur i gcrích maidir le sabháilteacht na píblíne.
Meitheamh 2005
Cuireadh cúigéar fear as Ros Dumhach chun príosún i ndiaidh dóibh diúltú cloí le hordú Ard-Chúirte gan cur isteach ar thógáil píblíne na Coirribe.

Thug an tAire Dempsey le fios go ndearna oifigigh de chuid a roinn féin scrúdú ar shuíomh Shell ar an chladach agus gurbh é tuairim a roinne gur sháraigh Shell roinnt mhaith de na coinníollacha a leagadh síos maidir leis an phíblíne. D’ordaigh sé do Shell 3km den phíblíne a bhí curtha le chéile acu a bhaint as a chéile.
Lúnasa 2005
Thug an tAire Dempsey cead do Shell píblíne 75km a leagaint ó pháirc na Coirribe go tuaisceart Mhaigh Eo. Chuir Shell E&P Ireland siar a gcinneadh an phíblíne a leagaint go dti 2006. Thug Shell le fios nach gcuirfeadh seo isteach ar sceideal críochnaithe an tionscnaimh, agus go gceadódh seo tréimhse díospóireachta agus cainte.
Meán Fómhair 30 2005
D’iarr dlíodóirí thar cheann Shell go dtógfaí an urghaire sealadach i gcoinne an cúigear fear, ós rud é nach raibh aon obair ag dul ar aghaidh ar an suíomh mar gheall ar an athbhreathnú sábháltachta. Chinnigh Uachtarán na hArd-Chúirte an Giúistís Joseph Finnegan gur chóir na fir a ligint saor, ach thug sé rabhadh dóibh faoina n-iompar amach anseo.
Beidh na fir ar ais san Ard-Chúirt níos moille an mhí seo, áit a chinneoidh an Giúistís Finnegan cé acu ar chóir pionós a ghearradh orthu mar gheall ar a ndíspeagadh cúirte.
