A PARISH Priest in north-west Mayo has raised concerns about Shell’s funding of national school activities, in light of the division the project has caused in the local community.
Father Michael Nallen, who is PP in Kilcommon, told The Mayo News yesterday that he had not been aware that Shell E&P Ireland was involved in the sponsorship of Mayo County Council’s Water Safety Programme for schools until parents raised the issue with him during the last week, after pictures and an article about the programme’s success appeared in local newspapers.
Shell and their partners will prevail in their endeavors so long as they have the elected authorities in Ireland, along with local law enforcement, in their ‘hip pocket’.
SHELL EP Ireland and its security contractors for the Corrib gas project have confirmed that they declined an invitation to meet an Amnesty International/Front Line human rights delegation in north Mayo last week.
However, the Garda agreed to meet the delegation to discuss possible monitoring of future Corrib gas protests. Chief Supt Tom Curley, head of the Mayo Garda division, confirmed that the two organisations had been in contact.
Serious questions over Shell Oil's alleged involvement in human rights abuses in Nigeria emerged last night after confidential internal documents and court statements revealed how the energy giant enlisted the help of the country's brutal former military government to deal with protesters.
A Mayo parish priest has launched a strong attack on politicians claiming that his rural parish has been, “a victim of tarnished and untrusted holders of political office.”
An oil company vs ordinary people…the tag line for Risteard O Domhnaill’s engrossing and provocative documentary couldn’t be more pertinent – except that this time the oil company is Shell, and the people are represented by the good folk of Rossport in Ireland.
