Section of Shell pipe comes loose off Mayo coast

By: 
RTE

An offshore discharge pipe from the Corrib Gas processing plant in north Co Mayo has come loose from the sea bed. 

A section of piping around 800 metres long is now floating on the surface of Broadhaven Bay. 

Shell says there is no indication that the pipe has snapped and it appears at this stage that a section has come loose.  

The pipe carries treated surface water from the Bellanaboy terminal out to sea.

It is understood most of the water being pumped out is rainwater that falls at the facility.

Mayo band involving Corrib gas terminal staff to fill the breach

Folk rock band The Saw Doctors has turned down an invitation from Shell E&P Ireland to play at a gig in north Mayo this month celebrating the completion of the Corrib gas terminal.

The Tuam band, which is currently on a break from live appearances, said it was “not interested in playing for Shell E&P Ireland”.

However, Shell has confirmed that some musicians among the company’s own staff would be performing instead.

PW is making available for the first time via Scribd a new publication on a topic of great current political interest, much discussed on this forum - the fitness for purpose, or otherwise, of An Garda Síochana. The study goes back to the earliest days of the "Force" up to and including the Shell to Sea experience.Seán Ryan, who is very familiar with the study, has written the introduction to it below.
