Wed 04 Apr 2009New effort on Corrib gas awaited after talks breakdown
TWO GOVERNMENT Ministers involved in trying to resolve the Corrib gas conflict are expected to attempt to continue mediation efforts following the breakdown of direct talks between Shell and Mayo community representatives this week.
Shell EP Ireland has said that it has “nothing to say” on the breakdown, which occurred after five hours of discussions at the offices of Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs Éamon Ó Cuív in Dublin on Monday evening. Pobal Chill Chomáin chairman Vincent McGrath has said that the north Mayo community group’s “door is open”, but that there is no point in continuing discussions “until Shell EP Ireland has something to say to us”.
