Six One News: Jim Fahy, Western Correspondent, reports on Shell's vow not to re-route the controversial gas pipeline it plans to lay in north Mayo
Shell Ireland said today it remains fully committed to developing the Corrib Gas Field which lies off the Co Mayo coast.
However, it said it has no plans to bow to public pressure to build an offshore terminal or change the route of a controversial onshore pipeline.
The company says it is working to address the safety concerns of local landowners and it welcomes what it describes as 'an increased level of co-operation' between all sides over the past two weeks.
It has also announced that work will begin next week on dismantling a section of the pipeline which was welded without the consent of the Department of the Environment.
