Shell announces new route for Corrib gas pipeline

Shell Ireland has announced a new proposed route for the controversial Corrib gas pipeline.

The 9.2km route is twice as far away from houses in the area compared to the previously approved route.

The company says it will be preparing an environmental impact statement and other statutory applications over the coming days.

The pipeline route is on display in the RPS project office in Seafield House in Belmullet for the local community to view.
