Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the failure of Shell to even vacate the compulsory acquisition orders for the existing Corrib gas route granted and facilitated by the Minister for Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, Deputy Noel Dempsey, and his Fianna Fáil predecessors, despite assurances given that the pipeline route was being altered and to ask whether the Government will direct Shell to cease construction of the Corrib gas refinery at Bellanaboy, County Mayo, which would mean an end to the Corrib gas protest and would prepare the way for talks, where other options to bring the gas to shore would be seriously considered.
