Rossport Pipeline Scheme due out today

national / rights, freedoms and repression Wednesday May 03, 2006 - 14:10 by Shell to Sea

1 image

The Irish government's report on how the Rossport pipeline scheme is completely safe is due today.

A casual observer might ask when the report finally sees the light of day:

If there are genuine questions about the safety of the high-pressure scheme as Shell proposed to build it last year, then weren't the Rossport Five justified to protest against it?

So will the government be making a formal apology to the five men, and compensating them for their imprisonment?

Will Shell be censured for their conduct?

Of course not. This report will come out, say the pipeline was safe as proposed, but with a few cosmetic changes it will be even safer (the gas will still be raw, untreated, odourless, and high pressure). The economics will still be the same (Nigeria gets a better deal from Shell on their natural resources). So the Irish people will still get nothing for letting a multi-national destroy a community.

Let's hope Noel Dempsey realises that the pipeline will never be built, so the time to get out is BEFORE the election.
