Corrib gas field - Nation needs work to start on pipeline

IN light of the safety report conducted on behalf of the Government, it is in the national interest that development of the Corrib gas field should immediately go ahead.

The outcome of the investigation is a resounding vindication of Mayo residents who have gone to jail in support of their cause.

Effectively, they have won the argument that gas be piped ashore at considerably less pressure than Shell had originally proposed.
