Will Ireland become Nigeria part II?

While Terry Nolan is telling us that everything is fine, the water is clean, the peat will be transported without incident, and everyone can relax and enjoy the benefits of the Corrib scheme, Shell is in court in Nigeria on charges of dumping toxic waste.

Will we look back at this time in Ireland and ask ourselves why we didn't do more to stop this company gaining a foothold in Erris?

THE Federal Government has charged the Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), its Managing Director, Mr. Basil Omiyi, and 19 others with alleged illegal dumping of toxic waste.
