Irish Independent: Why Shell should sell off its offshore site
by
Royal Dutch Shell Plc .com
on Thu 11 May 2006 07:59 AM BST
But there are doubts about Shell's competence to resolve the Corrib development: Last week Shell bosses seemed to say that they would move gas processing offshore - before reneging on this soon afterwards.Soft PR regrets for past arrogance clashed with legal tactics - as if one corporate hand doesn't commune with the other.
