Corrib Gas Project
The development of a major gas field off the shore of County Mayo in Ireland continues to be controversial with the conflict of interest between local residents and the wider national community difficult to reconcile.
CIG has been kept informed of the concerns of local residents through the Ecumenical Council for Corporate Responsibility (ECCR). We have also heard the views of the operating company, Royal Dutch Shell, through an engagement process led by the CFB of the Methodist Church. Many changes to the development have already been made in response to consultations and more may still occur.
As with many issues there is no absolute right or wrong, but CIG members will continue to encourage those concerned to seek a way forward that is just and fair.
