Court overturns High Court finding that Shell had access due to share in commonage

The Supreme Court has found Shell E & P Ireland was acting in civil contempt of court orders when, nine years ago, it entered on to commonage lands at Rossport located on the modified route for the Corrib gas onshore pipeline.

A three-judge Supreme Court on Wednesday overturned as “incorrect” a 2010 High Court finding that a November 2007 order of District Judge Mary Devins prohibiting Shell’s entry onto the commonage, except in accordance with the Gas Act 1976, did not prevent Shell entering on to the commonage after acquiring a 1/62nd share of the land.

A German civil engineering firm has been fined €300,000 plus costs, after pleading guilty to two breaches of health and safety legislation, in relation to the death of a German man who was working on the Corrib Gas tunnel in Co Mayo in 2013.

Lars Wagner died following a workplace accident in late 2013.

He had been working on a tunnel boring machine (TBM) that was being used to construct an underground channel to bring gas from the Corrib field to the onshore processing terminal.
