Dublin Shell to Sea

You can get in contact with a local Shell to Sea group in by contacting any of the e-mail addresses below.  Many of the groups have regular meetings.  At the meetings we discuss how we can help the campaign, we organise public actions and demos and media work etc. Its always great to have new people with new ideas getting involved and you don’t have to have ever been involved in anything else before.

In June 07 Green Party TD Eamon Ryan became Minster for Energy & Natural Resources. Before entering Government Eamon Ryan had supported the Shell to Sea campaign and been critical of the Shell project. However since becoming a Minister he has supported Shell and their Corrib Gas Project and forgotten his previous declarations. Video uses lots of still from the protests over the years including some of Ryan attending and ends with him refusing to answer the comments put to him by locals.

From being one of the most despised companies in the world just a few years ago, Shell, aided by a massive advertising budget and specialised PR companies, has managed to reshape its image into an environmentally and socially enlightened company.

The Corrib gas project entails exploiting a natural gas deposit off the northwest coast of Ireland. The field is located about 80 km off Erris Head in County Mayo, in water depths of 355 metres. The natural gas field, discovered in 1996, was the first reported commercial natural gas discovery in Ireland since the Kinsale Head gas field in 1973. The gas is from Triassic strata. The company set up to exploit the field is a conventure of Shell E&P Ireland (operator 45%), Statoil Exploration (Ireland) Limited (36.5%), and Marathon International Petroleum Hibernia Limited (18.5%).
