Irish Independent: Jail me, says gas pipeline protester
Tuesday 21 June 2005
A FARMER has vowed to go to jail rather than let oil giant Shell build a pipeline through his land.
Willie Corduff said yesterday that people in Rosport, Co Mayo, were being told by Shell, Statoil and Marathon – the three companies that have formed a consortium to take gas inland from the Corrib field – that they were safe.
“They are proposing to lay a high-pressure gas pipeline in bogland – something that has never been tried before – and to build the refinery on bogland,” Mr Corduff said.
“Local people are being bullied by Shell; the company wants the people to take the compensation and leave. I am not going to leave. I’m going to stay and if I have to go to jail, I will,” he added.
Yesterday the Erris Community Campaign group protested outside the Shell headquarters in Dublin before going to the Norwegian Embassy to protest at the role taken by Statoil, the Norwegian state-owned oil company, in the Corrib pipeline.
The Erris group claims that unprocessed gas will travel in the pipeline at far higher pressures than those found anywhere else on the national grid. They also fear there will be dangerous emissions from the refinery.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
