Mobilise against Shell in Mayo

Corrib gas has been the biggest sell-off of our natural resources to date. Under the FG/Labour government this record may soon be matched.

As the people of Ireland came out and voted to demolish Fianna Fail, Pat Carey ensured his party got their last nail in the coffin. On a day that Pat Carey the former Minister for Energy lost his seat in the Dail, and his party lost power he issued an order. With no mandate from the people he signed off the last section of the Corrib gas pipeline on the day of the general election. He gave the go-ahead to Shell to build infrastructure that will pump gas from the west coast to their interconnectors in Britain.
