Irish Independent: Dempsey initiative to break ‘Rossport Five’ deadlock fails

AN initiative by Communications, Marine and Natural Resources Minister Noel Dempsey to break the deadlock in the case of the “Rossport Five” has so far failed. The men are currently in prison for contempt of court arising from the proposed onshore Corrib gas pipeline being installed by Shell, resulting in continuing protests in support of their stance in the West.
Mr Dempsey has been working through an intermediary, IFA vice-president Raymond O’Malley, for the past week to try to broker a deal which would lead to the five Mayo farmers purging their contempt.
While he refused to meet them while they were in jail, he had agreed to talks once they had purged their contempt.
Mr Dempsey said last night that: “On my behalf, the intermediary offered a further safety review of the onshore pipeline, to be conducted by international experts with a view to meeting the concerns raised.” The minister said: “Despite this and despite indicating my willingness to meet the five men if they purged their contempt, I received no agreement.”
“In view of this, I have now decided that a new safety review will be carried out by independent internationally-recognised experts.” The five men had sought that the danger of explosions be explicitly covered in the terms of reference.
But Minister Dempsey responded that such a risk was already covered in the brief. The names of companies that would be invited to tender for the review were passed to the imprisoned men by the intermediary. Others will also be able to put their names forward.

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.
