Shell Ireland concerned over blockades

Shell Ireland has said it is extremely concerned that two of its sites in north Mayo, at Bellanaboy and Rossport, have been blockaded by protestors objecting to the development of the Corrib Gas Field.

The Shell to Sea campaign group says its members are willing to negotiate in relation to any work the company may want to carry out on either site.

Five men from the Rossport area were jailed for 94 days earlier this year for contempt of court arising from their opposition to the laying of an onshore pipeline.
