[DOC] Shell response regarding Corrib gas project

…[T]he suggestion that moving the location of the gas terminal at Bellanaboy to a coastal location at Glinsk represents “an historic peacemaking compromise” is not a view that we share or can endorse…The selection of Bellanaboy as the site for the terminal was arrived at following lengthy examination of possible alternatives. The planning process included significant public consultation…Glinsk itself was not identified as a suitable terminal location in 2000, and it was not evaluated as such… During the planning process for the terminal, the Irish planning authorities conducted a detailed consideration of the public safety aspects of the proposed terminal…This evaluation…concluded that risks from the terminal were so low that no planning restrictions were required in the vicinity of the terminal.
