Madam, – By way of clarification of your article “Shell may enter land after ban lifted” (October 15th, 2009), I was the solicitor representing Monica Muller at that sitting of Belmullet District Court.

On behalf of Ms Muller, I confirmed to the court that she was happy for the order (which Shell had previously been held to be in contempt of), to be vacated provided that Shell gave an undertaking to comply with the terms of Section 26 of the Gas Act 1976.

Contrary to the article, Ms Muller made this request on the basis that she was concerned that Shell, as before, would not comply with the Gas Act. – Yours, etc,
