IRELAND: 1100 People Call on EPA not to Grant Shell Emissions Licence
News Release – Issued by Shell to Sea – May 11th, 2015 – For immediate release
Last week 1100 people signed a petition calling on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reject Shell’s application for an Industrial Emissions Licence for the Shell/Corrib Gas refinery at Bellanaboy, Co Mayo. They have also called for an oral hearing to be held into the application. The petition was started by the Shell to Sea campaign and was hosted by the “Avaaz” community petitions website. [1]
Shell are currently unable to operate the Bellanaboy refinery as their earlier Emissions Licence was quashed by the High Court last year. Martin Harrington successfully took the challenge on the basis that the EPA was wrong in granting Shell an Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC) licence beforeundertaking an Environmental Impact Assessment.

The TRUTH will set you FREE.
