Irish Independent: Pipeline pressure
“It says a lot about the way Ireland is being run when people’s safety is disregarded in favour of a multinational corporation’s interests and people are jailed by the State for voicing those concerns.”

Sir – Well done to David McKittick for highlighting the issues involved in the dispute between Shell and the Rossport Five (Features). If the claims are true about the possible pressures in the pipeline, then in my opinion the men are justified in their safety concerns. Shell state that the pipe pressure may never reach 345 bar, but even a quarter of that is a very high pressure. To put it into context, a car tyre would only go to about 20 bar. You can imagine what sort of a bang you would get if a pipe joint failed at say 100 bar. Add to that the fact that you are dealing with a flammable gas and anyone can see the dangers. Would you like this in your back garden? Would this have been brought ashore off the coast of Dublin, through Blackrock for example? I think not. Why was it even given planning permission?
Why has no one being sacked for that decision? What is the Environmental Protection Agency doing? Why is the government not stepping in to resolve the dispute? It says a lot about the way Ireland is being run when people’s safety is disregarded in favour of a multinational corporation’s interests and people are jailed by the State for voicing those concerns. It seems that people are beginning to ask questions about the way they are being governed, and the direction the country is going. David Walker, Larkbere Sydenham, London

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.
