The lessons for all from the Corrib Gas project in North Mayo
The lessons for all from the Corrib Gas project in North Mayo
Major infrastructure that is years behind schedule and massively over budget
Wednesday, 1 July 2015
The Corrib Gas project represents a cautionary example of how large industrial developments should not be handled by governments or multinational companies. A lack of consultation and sensitivity to local concerns in the initial stages led gradually to resistance and confrontation. Smouldering resentment over what objectors regarded as unqualified state support for the developer caught fire when five protesters, concerned about the safety of a gas pipeline and its proximity to their homes, were jailed on an application from Shell. From there, there was no going back.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
