Press Release: No state regulation for Shell once again

[Shell to Sea]  RTE are continuing their policy of silencing local people's voice and instead have Minister Michael Ring speaking about peoples safety concerns.  It is a way too late for him to be acting concerned about safety as he abandoned the people of Kilcommon in our campaign on the safety of the project that was forced on the community by a corrupt state. In 2005 when the Rossport 5 were in jail Michael Ring stated at a rally in Castlebar that if necessary he would go to jail to stop this project. Obviously the big boys and girls in Fine Gael had a word in his ear because he went silent from that day on.

Natural gas customers across Counties Mayo and Galway are being told to turn off their gas supplies after odourless gas entered the network from the Corrib Gas terminal.

Gas Networks Ireland says customers in Galway city, Tuam, Headford, Ballinrobe, Castlebar, Claremorris, Westport, Crossmolina and Ballina should turn off their supply at the meter box until further notice.

It says this action is needed so that if a leak occurs, homeowners would not be able to smell it.

Gas is odourless but has a smell added to aid with detection.
