Shell said it welcomes the news of an investigation, and that it will co-operate fully.
THE GARDA OMBUDSMAN is to investigate allegations that a contractor for Shell provided alcohol to garda in Co Mayo.
The Ombudsman told TheJournal.ie this evening:
The Garda Ombudsman received material from the Garda Siochána in accordance with section 85 of the Garda Siochána Act 2005. Following consideration of that material, the Garda Ombudsman has today begun an investigation.
Shell E&P Ireland Limited (SEPIL) said it welcomes the investigation into OSSLs allegations.
It said that in recent weeks, SEPIL provided information to Supt Murphys examination and will also co-operate fully with GSOCs forthcoming investigation.
These allegations have dragged on for a long period and SEPIL trusts that GSOCs involvement will bring this matter to an end.
OSSL was a contractor employed at the Corrib gas project from 2005 – 2010. It was to provide safety equipment as a sub-contractor to the main contractor, Shell.
Shell said that in late 2009/2010 it told OSSL that its services were no longer required.
This was followed by a contract dispute, and during this time OSSL alleged that there had been delivery of alcohol to garda, as well as gifts for local residents, in 2007.
The allegations were detailed in an Observer article in August of this year. OSSL alleged it delivered £35,000 worth of alcohol, which came from Northern Ireland, to Belmullet Garda Station in December 2007.
OSSL invoiced SEPIL for the alleged deliveries of alcohol to garda, said SEPIL.
An independent internal investigation was instigated by SEPIL, but the team did not find any evidence to support OSSL’s allegations.
A senior Shell representative met with OSSL in June of this year and SEPIL is satisfied that their contractual dispute has been closed.

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.
