Jump To Comment: 2 1In a written Dáil reply from the Minister to Mayo TD Dr Jerry Cowley (Ind) on January 25th, the Minister said that the role of the mediator "is wider than just the gas project".
"I understand he is looking at the availability of services generally throughout the region, including in particular, the role of gas supply in the area, in the context of Bord Gáis Éireann's proposals to modify some of the connection terms," Mr Dempsey said in his reply.
sounds mr dempsey and mr cassell are looking to make some _promises_ to the other locals about supplying gas to them in lieu of doing something about safety I wonder of of mr cassell has been meeting with pegg or some sorts?
First Shell sells off all their forecourt interests. Now, Statoil are doing the same. Both are holding on to their Government Presents off our coastline. Note well: there will be no place to picket when the Corrib saga turns sour again!
Toll Companies are being allowed to fleece the hard pressed Irish Citizen on their way to work. Many of these citizens are parents who have to buy affordable accommodation many miles from their work. Every time petrol prices rise, so does the Tax Take. This is just a manifestation of another millstone around the neck of our young men and women. The only outlet is to limit the number of children they have in order to pay back the mortgages and higher traveling costs. The pending government requirement that everybody fund their own pensions is being implemented by Dreamers! Does anyone care that the "Arse" has falling out of our birthrate? Irish working young men and women (including immigrants) are being milked to the core! Where is all their effort going to? Vast Riches is being generated in Ireland on the hard work of our young. Yet, because society is getting older, there must be Pension Investment (in the absence of children) to care for the elderly. All the wealth being presently generated will flee this little land of ours as soon as the future elderly society starts making demands. You see, the nature of capitalism is to make a profit? There will be no profit in a society without its young. Whatever number of young there are, will emigrate to get out of the grasp of a society run by the old (Bank teller jobs being done by fifty-seventy year olds). The capitalist system is a great system if it is controlled. You can't have "laisser faire" capitalism and liberal use of contraception; a people in such a scenario will be just eaten up!
The Irish government by their policies is generating a future elderly society; at a time when every capitalist country will already have arrived with the same set of problems. Maybe, the descendants of Sammi bin Laden and company will help to pay dividends on the pension investments! With the rush of blood that newspapers throughout the EU are re-publishing the scurrilous caricatures of Mohammed that has so incensed the Arab Nation against Denmark; it appears that we, the EU has completely lost it! Italy has already hit the Old Aged Society plateau; State Pensions are been cut; many Irish Teachers in Italy qualified for mini-pensions only to now find that they are now worthless. The EU has many skeletons in the cupboard that can be resurrected; we allow falling birthrates at our peril! Remember what happened the “low birthrate Prods” along the border areas in the 1970s! Could sauce for the Goose be sauce for the Gander?
It appears from this keyboard that all Rip Off merchants in the hydrocarbon and it’s offshoot area (motor industry) are being given a "carte blanche" from our government! In addition, a government that puts the care of its future elderly citizens in the care of financial products is strangling the nature of democracy! It appears that it is the price that we are prepared to pay in looking towards Mammon for succour!
Anyhow, we have an immediate problem looming. The crack in the Governments ointment is that they are finding that not all the people in County Mayo emigrated and are not afraid to at last stand up for their rights and wait for it, are not prepared to compromise their principles no matter what is on the table! “And in this wild earth a Gracian Urn!” Will all the Tax receipts that our Government is collecting from its citizens via Petrol/gas be used to solve the mess it has created in Erris? Or will it be used to support whatever Shell and Stashoil (the only possible real winners in this saga, handed to them on a plate by our government) have up their sleeves in well flagged future efforts to get their hands on massive Irish tax free revenue?
Welcome toll booths; welcome higher petrol taxes; welcome jails full with protesting Irish citizens; welcome international and national rip off merchants; welcome gas pipelines passing via our front doors while we pay top dollar for heating oil distribution in outlying areas; the Gas, the Gas is every where!
