AFTER weeks of speculation, and an absence of over a year, Shell returned to work at the controversial Bellanaboy terminal site early yesterday (Tuesday) morning. A large gathering of protesters, from all over the county, was expected to assemble at the site from shortly after 5.30am.
Gardaí confirmed to The Mayo News on Monday morning that they received notification of Shell’s intention to recommence work at the proposed terminal site on Tuesday. Later in the afternoon, Shell confirmed their intentions.
Chief Superintendant, Tony McNamara, revealed that there would be a low-key garda presence at the site, but he said he did not expect any trouble. He dismissed local concerns about the reported presence of three prison vans [paddy wagons] in the yard of Belmullet Garda Station since the weekend.
A rumour that the company had intended to restart work last Tuesday week led to a gathering of around 120 protesters, while over 100 people once again assembled at the site shortly after dawn on Monday morning this week in expectation of a resumption of work.
Sources indicated that this number would increase significantly if there was an apparent movement of workers towards the site.
Chief Superintendant McNamara told The Mayo News: “We expect that any protest would be peaceful, as they have been in the past. The protesters have an absolute constitutional right to protest, as have the workers the same right to go to their place of work. We assume that both sides will respect that right. Of course, the courts are open to any party who feels the law has been broken.”
It is more than a year since Shell carried out any significant work at the Bellanaboy terminal site.

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.
