Differences remain as oral hearing begins

Áine Ryan
IN BELMULLET

THE EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has been strongly criticised for not ensuring that officials from a number of State authorities attended the oral hearing, in Belmullet, into the awarding of an Integrated Pollution Prevention Control Licence (IPPC) to Shell for the Corrib gas project.

Ms Imelda Moran, one of the 13 appellants challenging the awarding of a licence for the Corrib gas refinery, said at the first day of the hearing on Monday, that representatives from Mayo County Council, the Health and Safety Authority (HSA) and An Bord Pleanála should have been mandated to attend, particularly due to the integrated dimension of the proposed license. In reply, the hearings Chairman, Mr Frank Clinton, said the County Council had been invited but were not obliged to attend.

A solicitor representing Shell said he took exception to a comment by Ms Moran regarding the company having one of the most horrendous environmental records on this planet. She was referring to the unprecedented nature of the refinery and to the fact that Shell was allowed monitor its own operations rather than having an independent body, such as a university, do so.

I notice a lot of references made in emails to the population of the towns and parishes which some would spin as being the only ones who should be included. I'd be amazed if there are no deaf people in that sample. Let me put it this way - you have deaf people in those communities of both languages. I think that adds 2 interpreters to the expenses.

The hearing is not being held in an area where deaf people are a large section of the population.

It would be crazy to try to cater for the disability of everyone in the area, but it would be normal practice to use Irish in a Gaeltacht area.

It's being held in english for the benefit of Shell and to make it difficult for those for whom Irish is their everyday language.
