Corrib pipeline challenge settled

A number of legal challenges aimed at quashing consents for the construction of sections of Corrib gas onshore pipeline have been settled.

Two local residents, Peter Sweetman and Monica Muller, Rossport South, Ballina, Co Mayo who own land 500m south of the proposed pipeline and An Taisce, the heritage protection agency, had separately challenged An Bord Pleanala's decision last January granting permission to Shell E&P Ireland for its third proposed route for the pipeline.
