May 10 (Bloomberg) — Irish police charged seven men after a protest late yesterday against a Royal Dutch Shell Plc gas pipeline in western Ireland.
The men were charged with public order offences, criminal damage and possession of offensive weapons, police said today. Dublin-based broadcaster RTE reported that around 150 people took part in the demonstration at the site where the pipeline comes ashore and that some people tried to pull down fencing.
A notice on the Web site of a group opposed to the pipeline had called for people to take part in a Day of Action on May 9 to help us remove Shells fences from the area. The pipeline was also attacked last month by up to 15 masked men armed with iron bars and chains.
The pipeline is intended to pump gas from the offshore Corrib field, which contains around 1 trillion cubic feet of gas. While Shell agreed in 2006 to reroute the pipeline away from houses in a bid to end opposition, opponents who want the gas processed off the coast have continued to protest, holding rallies and a hunger strike as part of their campaign.

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.
