IRELAND - Energy giant Shell has been told to re-route part of the controversial Corrib gas pipeline after planners ruled it posed a safety risk. An Bord Pleanala found more than half of a 9km onshore stretch, carrying raw gas over bogland in north Mayo, must be altered because of the dangers to nearby homes.
It ruled that information supplied by the Corrib Gas Partners was not a complete, transparent or adequate demonstration that the high pressure pipeline does not pose an unacceptable risk to the public.
