Rossport Five expose State’s denial of constitution
The abominable ‘deal’ the Government has cut with Shell/Statoil means the entire Corrib gas field has been handed over to these private companies with no interest retained by the state, with all expenses accrued by these companies over the past 25 years paid by the State, and with no royalties payable to the State.
This gas refinery, the only land-based refinery in the world, will discharge toxins into air, sea and drinking water in an inhabited and environmentally sensitive region; the high-pressure supply pipeline will pass beside houses, and the entire Corrib operation will be based in Ayr in Scotland.
