Warned over gas pipeline protests

 

Security measures have been increased at two Scottish companies amid fears they could be targeted by protesters opposed to their work on a gas pipeline in Ireland.

Staff at Technip and Transocean, who are contracted by oil giant Shell, were briefed after both companies were mentioned on a website supporting the cause of five men jailed over their opposition to the project.

The men, known as the Rossport Five, were imprisoned for 94 days last year after they broke an injunction banning them from protesting against the high-pressure pipeline being built by Shell from the Corrib gasfield to an onshore refinery at Bellanboy in County Mayo.

'Bid' exposes UK's double standards in its dealings with foreign investorsBy Eugene G Zhukov

From Mr Eugenue G. Zhukov.

Sir, I found Jean Eaglesham's report “Centrica threat led to rethink on mergers” (April 17) fascinating. I am far from being a specialist in UK government's affairs, but I found the fact that the Department of Trade and Industry has had to hold eight meetings to discuss possible ways to block a non-existing bid by Russia's Gazprom for UK's Centrica to be quite revealing in itself. The UK, which has built up a very solid reputation for being open and fair in dealing with foreign investors, is in danger of exposing itself to charges of double standards. read more

The tiny platform, powered by two wind turbines and a pair of solar panels, cost £80m to develop and is expected to produce gas at the rate of some 3 million cubic feet a day for the next 15 years. read more
