Opening the case yesterday, Pat Butler SC, for the council, said his client was frustrated with Shell's attitude. The company has been dragging its feet over the matter, he said.

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.

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 »
