FT: Irish grass roots clog Shell gas pipeline
EXTRACTS
As the road approaches the Shell gas terminal at Ballinaboy on Irelands Atlantic west coast, only the posters pinned to the telegraph poles give any hint of the countrys longest-running environmental protest.
…for the past four years this remote but beautiful corner of north Mayo has been the setting for a bitter industrial dispute. At times, hundreds of police have been deployed to break up pickets.
