Shell and their partners will prevail in their endeavors so long as they have the elected authorities in Ireland, along with local law enforcement, in their ‘hip pocket’.
Comment by a former employee of Shell Oil USA
Political & Corporate Corruption in Ireland
I have been doing some reading and familiarizing myself with the Corrib gas project controversy. The real issue here is not really the pipeline or the route of the pipeline. That is just a local focal point of protest, and a distraction from the real and much larger issue.
The real fundamental issue here is how the Irish government proceeds with the exploitation and development of Ireland’s considerable hydrocarbon resources to the maximum benefit of the Irish people themselves.
It is readily apparent that if the Irish people are truly unhappy with the way the government has handled the situation (and they should be), then they are probably going to have to give their elected officials the ‘boot’, and replace them with individuals who will be responsive to the will of the Irish people.
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.

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.
