The 18 religious orders have agreed to revisit their agreement with the State. Before the outcry of public opinion it was generally held that it was a legally binding agreement.
What is the situation with the Government's agreement with Shell on the Corrib oil field? It seems the Irish Government did an appalling bad deal with Shell and now this deal cannot be revisited. Why not? If there were enough public outrage could the deal not be redone? Of course it could. Shell is a powerful international oil company.
Is it true that the pipeline Shell is using is carrying non-purified gas at high pressure and that this type of gas transmission happens nowhere else int he world?
Who was the Government minister who did this deal?
It is interesting how news can be 'handled'.
