A BRITISH company that won a State contract to carry out an independent safety review of Shell’s pipeline plans for North Mayo was not asked whether it had any business dealings with Shell.
As the “Rossport Five” began their second week in jail for opposing the pipeline, it emerged that AEA Technology has regularly worked with Shell, but Minister for Natural Resources Noel Dempsey did not ask the company to disclose this information.
iNFO
In reply to mns. Does Noel Dempsey think the Irish people are stupid? Does Shell? Obviously, they do. Do they seriously believe that fathers, husbands, brothers and friends would go to prison on a whim? This is a serious issue which they have spent 5 years researching. These men and their supporters have reached the hearts of the nation. No longer are we afraid to speak out and say to our government "THIS IS WRONG". The people of Ireland deserve so much better. Thank you, the people of Erris, for the willingness to sacrifice so much for the greater good of your country.
Síog is absolutely right. The people of Erris, and the people of Ireland, are being treated with such contempt by Shell E&P Ireland and by the Government. The statistics quoted in the QRA, be they right or wrong, are horrifying - the implication being that a risk of 30 fatalities at the normal operating pressure and 60 fatalities at the maximum pressure, as I understand it from the report (and I'm not a statistician), over the 30-year operating life of the pipeline is considered tolerable????!! Can anyone clarify whether this is what the statistics quoted above mean, as I wouldn't wish to misinform anyone?
Keep up the pressure everyone!
1 in 4 million per year means that their assessment of the risk of x(plosion?) occurring is once every 4 million years.
The levels of acceptable risk are proportionate to the effects of an incident. In the case of this pipeline the effect of an incident would be catastrophic.
Still 1 in 4 million appears to be a pretty low risk, if the figures are correct.
