Shell Ireland has called for a fresh round of face-to-face talks to try to resolve the dispute over the Corrib Gas pipeline between the company and the residents of Rossport, Co Mayo.
The company says it remains fully committed to the €900 million project but the landowners it is in dispute with say they still have serious concerns about the safety of the high-pressure pipeline that will run close to their homes.
A year ago, five men from the Rossport area were jailed for their opposition to the pipeline.
