One of the last acts of the outgoing Fianna Fail government in Ireland last month was to approve a planning application by oil and gas giant Shell to build an onshore pipeline in a remote and beautiful corner of western Ireland - the parish of Kilcommon Erris in County Mayo.

Up to 20 TDs calling for reversal of Corrib consents

By: 
Irish Examiner

Up to 20 TDs, along with Dublin Shell to Sea are today calling on the new Government to reverse consents granted to Shell for the onshore section of the Corrib gas pipeline.

The consents were issued despite High Court proceedings initiated by An Taisce and Erris residents against last January's An Bord Pleanála decision to grant permission.

They were controversially granted on the day of the General Election by former Minister Pat Carey.
