Shell seeking to jail five anti-pipeline protestors in Mayo
29/06/2005 - 08:02:56The global oil firm Shell is due to take High Court action today in an effort to have five people jailed for protesting against a controversial pipeline in Co Mayo.
The court has already granted an injunction preventing protestors from obstructing the company's efforts to gain access to private land to lay the high-pressure pipeline.
The structure is part of Shell's development of the Corrib gas field off the Co Mayo coast.
Local residents believe it poses an unacceptable safety risk.
