Mediator recommends re-routing of Corrib gas pipeline

The man appointed by the Government to mediate between Shell and the Rossport Five has recommended that the Corrib gas pipeline be re-routed.

Former trade union leader Peter Cassells was appointed in an effort to find a solution to the long-running dispute, which saw the five Co Mayo men spend more than 90 days in prison last year for refusing to obey an injunction ordering them not to obstruct work on the pipeline.
