Rossport challenge to Dempsey

AS a spokesperson for the Shell to Sea group in Co Mayo, I have commented publicly many times on various aspects of the proposed Corrib gas project, predominantly in relation to site works at Bellanaboy and associated environmental issues.

I have been in constant contact with the local authority on issues relating to the project, and was part of the Irish contingent that visited Oslo to meet with union representatives, Statoil executives and Norwegian parliamentarians.

I have attended numerous sittings of the High Court relating to the Rossport Five and visited those men in Cloverhill Prison on many occasions with my wife whose father, Micheal Ó Séighin, was one of those imprisoned.
