Ex-garda hired to manage Corrib pipeline security

A FORMER senior Mayo garda has started working for a security firm at Shell’s controversial Corrib gas pipeline site just over a year after he helped to police the project.

Former Westport super-intendent Pat Doyle has joined Integrated Risk Management Solutions, which is contracted to provide a 170-strong security team to the project.

Mr Doyle retired from the force in May 2009 and will now take a management role with the security firm at the site.
