Shell assessing damage to ‘Solitaire’
ELAINE EDWARDSShell has said it cannot yet say what impact the damage to the pipe-laying vessel Solitaire will have on the Corrib offshore gas pipeline project.
The ship was damaged accidentally yesterday and was withdrawn from Broadhaven Bay.
In a statement today, Shell said the Solitaire has now returned to Killybegs, where a full assessment of the damage is underway.
At this stage it is not clear what impact the damage to the vessel will have on the 2008 offshore works programme which would still require a suitable weather window, Shell said.
A further update will be issued once further information becomes available. Protests continued at the site of the gas project yesterday.
Three men and a woman arrested for alleged public order offences were released from custody last night. This followed the release from custody of three other people – two men and a woman – earlier in the day.
Meanwhile, one of the most prominent campaigners against the gas pipeline, Maura Harrington, said today she was continuing on hunger strike and would do so until the Solitaire had left Irish territorial waters.
Ms Harrington told The Irish Times she had seen a doctor today but declined to say whether she had been advised against her action. She said she was taking fluids, but no food, since 6pm on Tuesday.

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.
