Shell has pledged to create 1,000 jobs this year on works related to the Corrib gas project, which was granted planning permission last week for the final section of the controversial pipeline.
The oil company said that the jobs would arise from the construction of a twin bore tunnel for the pipeline under Sruwaddacon Bay in Co Mayo.
Employees would also be needed for works at the 1 billion gas terminal at Bellanaboy and for an offshore rig which will be constructed this year to check the existing gas wells.
Last week, An Bord Pleanála approved planning permission for the final section of the pipeline after the third application by Shell E&P Ireland in more than a decade.
However, the project is still awaiting a decision on an application for an offshore licence from the Department of the Environment as well as permission to lay the pipeline from the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources.
The company is hopeful that a decision on these will be made in the near future, but it is understood that energy minister Eamon Ryan is still waiting for several technical reports before making a final decision on approval.
A Shell spokesman said the construction of the five-kilometre tunnel under the seabed in the bay would be done on a 24-hour basis, and that a team at Killybegs port would likely service the rig. However, Terence Conway, the Shell to Sea campaign spokesman, said the final chapter has not yet been written on the project and said the group might seek a judicial review of An Bord Pleanálas decision.
Meanwhile, Shell has been instructed to install new security procedures at the compound where the Corrib gas pipeline comes ashore at Glengad in north Mayo. This is amid concerns over the risk of third party damage to the facility.
In future, it will have to be protected by two separate fences; one of which should be electrified, according to a report into the pipelines design and safety, conducted as part of the planning boards assessment of the project.
According to the report, prepared by health and safety expert Niall Wright, Shell should redesign the security fencing to include a double high security fence and gates with a suitable floodlit deadzone between the inner and outer fencing.”

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.
