"Mr President, last week five farmers were thrown into jail in Ireland because they resisted the laying of a potentially dangerous gas pipeline through their land and close to their homes. The five men were sent to prison because they refused to give assurances that they would not obstruct work on their land. These men have legitimate concerns and we should share those concerns on environmental grounds. The Shell-led multinational consortium, including Marathon and Norwegian Statoil, intend to place a pipeline across residential land and beside homes, without an independent safety audit being carried out. We see multinational companies with no regard for local communities or the environment and a compliant government that allows these potential hazards to communities. Local people argued that the pipeline should be laid out to sea. The pipeline operation has not been shown to comply with the necessary safety precautions."@en1
