SHELL have been accused of “insulting the intelligence” of local people in Mayo.
Locals near the Bellaghaboy site were reacting after Shell E&P Ireland (SEPIL) held a series of formal meetings regarding the decision to cold-vent the offsore gas rather than flare it.
On the fifth day of the Environmental Protection Agency’s oral hearing into the issuing of an Integrated Pollution Prevention Licence, Agnes McLaverty of SEPIL said the company had chosen cold-venting to ease residents’ concerns over the visual impact. The cold-venting of gas, usually methane, entails it being released directly into the environment, without it being burned.
However, locals said the cold-venting was rarely mentioned at all at meetings held between SEPIL and the local community, and the majority of the people did not even know what it was. Anthony Irwin claimed documentation produced by SEPIL proving they had conducted a consultation process was an “insult to the intelligence” of the people. Micheal O Sheighin pointed out to Ms McLaverty that the main concern for the people was not the visual impact of the flare tower but the emissions from the burning gas.

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.
