Minister for the Marine Noel Dempsey says he will “consider” a call by some north Mayo residents for a deferral of his dismantling order for the illegally welded section of the Shell onshore gas pipeline.
The Minister was responding to a statement issued by the Pro-Erris Gas Group (PEGG) yesterday, in which it proposed the dismantling be postponed until the Minister’s new safety review is published.
The group said that if the safety review endorsed the onshore pipeline, Shell should be fined a minimum of 250,000 instead. This money should be used “exclusively” on “worthwhile projects” within the Kilcommon parish, the group said in the statement, issued by its chairman, Michael Healy.
The Mayo-based Shell to Sea campaign described the proposal yesterday as “incredible”. It has been calling on the company for weeks to follow the ministerial order and dismantle the illegally welded section – which was reported by The Irish Times last July.
Mr Dempsey directed that the company take the section apart more than 10 weeks ago, and the company said last week it intended to carry out the work this coming week. The Minister said he would consider PEGG’s proposal carefully and talk to Shell in the coming days.
In a separate development, Mayo county manager Des Mahon said he is “satisfied” that the Shell Corrib project is posing no pollution risk in north Mayo.
Mr Mahon was responding to a request from the Shell to Sea campaign for immediate inspections at the Shell Corrib gas terminal site at Bellanaboy.
The campaign said its observers have reported that holding ponds appear to have overflowed; surface drains contain a white substance that may be lime/cement run-off; and significant quantities of diesel are evident on the site surface.

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.
