Fresh talks may take place between Shell Ireland and local residents in north Co Mayo in an effort to resolve the long-running dispute over the Corrib gas terminal site.

The Shell to Sea campaign, which represents residents opposed to the pipeline, is due to outline a new initiative aimed at breaking the ongoing deadlock.

Details have not been disclosed, but reports this morning say the proposal could allow for fresh dialogue between Shell, the Government and the local community.

The Labour Party, which is sending a delegation to the Bellanaboy area today to meet with the pipeline protestors, says talks are urgently needed to resolve the stand-off.

The party says negotiations are the only way to find a solution and ensure that gas from the Corrib field can be delivered by the 2009 target date.
