1. Who has written this piece and
2. how and who have they contacted in the Irish Whale and Dolphin Group ?
Marine Notice 15 of 2004 provides guidance on correct procedures when encountering whales, dolphin and porpoise in Irish coastal waters. This Notice was issused under a Statutory Instrument which is legally enforcable, if the writer wishes to make a case of this there is a clear legal framework available to them.

In the foreshore consent letter issued to Shell on 27 June 2008 by the Dept of Agriculture & Fisheries, Schedule 3 - Part 1 states:
8. The MMO (Marine Mammal Observer) must ensure that an exclusion zone 1000m around the vessel is free of marine mammals (whales, dolphins, and seals) for 30 minutes before the operations commence.
9. If marine mammals are observed during the 30-minute period within 1000m of the vessel, the start of operations should be delayed until they move away and 30 minutes without marine mammal observations within the exclusion zone has passed.
From witnesses who saw the incidents of the dolphins being chased by the boats it is clear that these rules were breached.
