Shell, IRMS & Gardaí move into Glengad![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shell begins work on Landfall Valve Installation. Yesterday morning residents of Aghoos, Pollathomas and Glengad were woken by a convoy of heavy vehicles heading in the direction of Glengad. One person drove down to Glengad to see what was happening. At about 7.20am he was stopped by a Garda in Glengad who said the road is blocked. When asked who was blocking the road the Garda said “the Shell boys are doing a bit of work”. Walking down past the squad car about 100 meters towards where Shell had the pipe-pull in compound during the summers of 2008 and 2009, a line of security guards were strung across the road. As he went forward (with a video camera) they withdrew to the edge of the road across the newly opened site entrance. There were about 25 security guards at the entrance and about another 30 inside the compound. A number of diggers and lorries carrying fencing were already inside the field. Shell and Roadbridge workers were doing fencing work inside. Caption: Video Id: m3uNRuzBm0M Type: Youtube Video |
