Work to restart on Corrib Pipeline- Dept of
Transport
mayo | environment | other press
Sunday April 25, 2010 13:31
by WMD
According to a notice issued by Eamon
Ryan's Department of Transport, work is to re start shortly on the
Corrib Pipeline. The notice gives a rough outline of plans to survey the
estuary, but makes no mention of Shell/Garda security compounds,
increased garda and navy presence, dodgy security guards with cameras,
and articles in the O'Reily press saying "we need the gas".
Maybe that's a different department...

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Niall is a good man for mending fences and connecting up allies, now he is out of the way, while Pat who holds a lawful licence is a major legal obstruction to the project and he is still locked up and you would never know these things if you didnt look at this website,
No Publicity and tons of Shame.
This "Corrib Pipeline" operation is all part of the mysterious "great giveaway" of the Republic of Ireland's oil and gas resources, which according to the Article at http://www.indymedia.ie/article/90909 have been valued at 5.4 trillion Euros.
Why are the people of the Republic of Ireland being completely excluded from all decisions relating to this crucially important social matter: which very obviously has major implications for present and future generations?
According to Article 6.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann (The Basic Law of the Republic of Ireland), the people have the right "to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good".
Despite this very clear and core legal fact, the people are not even being consulted, let alone being provided with their legal right "in final appeal" to "decide all questions of national policy".
The full text of Article 6.1 of our written Constitution (Bunreacht na hEireann) reads as follows:
"All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good."
and shell were said to be 'retreating'......
The infamous Gerry Cowley is making a comeback, but opponents of the Corrib project need not get too excited.
Mr Cowley is now says " it was time to ‘move on’. An Bord Pleanála had decided to move the pipeline away from homes and he had been ‘vindicated’ on the issue of safety, he said."
Yet another turncoat?

Instead of "All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, ..." (as stated in Article 6.1 of Bunreacht na hEireann), for the past several years now we seem to be getting "All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive under our judges, ..." (or something very similar).
One way and another, this piece of sleight of hand is proving itself to be an almighty disaster for the Republic of Ireland (and the overwhelming majority of its several million citizens).
Regardless of how exactly this major flaw has crept in (or been slipped in), and it MOST CERTAINLY was not by the lawful process of any "constitutional referendum" procedure, it now desperately needs to be remedied as soon as possible.
