Shell Ireland has announced that the ship which was intended be used in laying the controversial Corrib gas offshore pipeline is to be moved from Killybegs in Donegal to a port in the UK for repair work.
Equipment on board the Solitaire was accidently damaged off the Mayo coast last Wednesday, an hour before it was due to begin laying the first section of the pipeline.
It is now on its way to a deep water berth in Glasgow.
Separately, a special diving support vessel will be in Broadhaven Bay tomorrow to assist in the salvage of a 12m long 80-tonne section of Solitaire’s equipment.
It became detached from the vessel and is currently lying on the seabed.
It will be removed and disposed of for safety and environmental reasons.
The Solitaire has been at the centre of a hunger strike protest by the Shell to Sea campaigner, Maire Harrington, for the last ten days.
She is demanding that the vessel be moved out of Irish territorial waters and the pipe laying operation permanently halted.


















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.
