SHELL’S UNREGISTERED SECURITY MEN

IRMS, Farrell declared, "operates 100% within the law". But it has already emerged that the late Michael Dwyer, shot in Bolivia last April, did not have an appropriate Private Security Authority (PSA) 'static security' license for the work he performed when employed by IRMS in Mayo in 2008 (see The Phoenix, 22/5/09). Now a court case involving Shell to Sea campaigner Maura Harrington has thrown up the fact that there are other unlicensed IRMS employees.

DUBLIN — About 15 masked men armed with steel bars, chains and nail-studded clubs ransacked a Shell pipeline site, police said Thursday, in the latest trouble for Ireland’s most controversial energy project.

The vandals smashed security fences Wednesday shortly before midnight and forced unarmed guards on duty to retreat. One guard suffered an arm injury when struck by a steel pipe, according to Ireland’s national police force.

Shell has spent four years battling opponents of the project in both the courts and on the ground in rural County Mayo, where the global energy giant has government permission to pump natural gas from an untapped field 80 kilometers (50 miles) out in the Atlantic. read more
