Ms Justice Mary Laffoy was also told by Lord Dan Brennan QC, for two local residents who object to the pipeline, that the Minister for the Marine may decide within the next few weeks that the gas pipeline should operate at normal pressure and not at the high level of pressure originally proposed by Shell E&P Ireland. Such a decision would represent a victory for his clients on one of the issues in the case, given Shell's denial that the high-pressure pipeline posed any risk, counsel said. more »

It is clear from the reaction of the protesters to the report published this week that the report makes very little difference. Shell appear to have accepted this by indicating a willingness to look at re-routing the pipeline. more »

However, he awarded costs of the contempt proceedings against them to Shell E&P Ireland. He also warned that, should the men "again physically prevent Shell E&P exercising its rights" and if a further injunction was obtained against them, the court had jurisdiction to impose a penalty of a further fixed term of imprisonment of "an appropriate duration". In June 2005, Shell issued a motion for attachment and committal of the five for contempt of the April 4th court order. On June 29th, 2005, the five men were jailed until they purged their contempt. The men refused to do so but they were released from prison in September 2005 after Shell applied to have the April injunction discharged. more »

on Wed 08 Mar 2006 08:24 AM GMT
A written assertion by Shell E&P Ireland in a letter of December 10th, 2004, that its parent company, Shell Overseas Holdings Ltd, would provide such a security "in due course" and subject to the approval of its board does not constitute a legally enforceable security, argued senior counsel Dr Michael Forde, for environmentalist Peter Sweetman. The situation is akin to telling a bank manager that Daddy will guarantee a loan and will come down "tomorrow" for that purpose but no signature being provided, he contended. more »
