Press Release - Shell to Sea dismisses Shell’s PR as “beads and baubles”

News Release - Issued by Shell to Sea

Shell to Sea dismisses Shell’s announcement that it will provide €750,000 installing fibre-optic broadband as a fistful of beads and baubles in comparison with the billions of euros worth of gas that was gifted to them in the Corrib Gas field. [1]  

Former Managing Director of the Corrib Gas project, Brian O’Cathain previously stated in 2010 “That Corrib will never pay tax”.[2]

Maura Harrington stated “Shell says it will spend €750,000 (tax deductible), big deal.  Shell again clicks its fingers and Enda Kenny comes toadying to do the needful.
