Shell to Sea campaigners carried a section of pipeline behind the Norwegian parade, to draw attention to the Norwegian government's part in the Corrib scheme.
Syttende mai (May 17th) is commemorated every year by Norwegians all around the world, to mark their country's achievement of independence. A parade was held this morning in Dublin, when many members of the Norwegian community carried their country's flag along Grafton Street.
"Norway owns 71 per cent of Statoil. Statoil has a 36.5 per cent stake in the Corrib field. This means that the citizens of Norway will own 25 per cent of the gas produced. Meanwhile, because of the lrish State's giveaway licensing system, the people of Ireland will get nothing, and will have to buy back their own natural resource at market rates. The profits from gas that lies off the Mayo coast will be invested in infrastructure projects in places like Fredrikstad and Oslo, while gas prices for consumers in Ireland are projected to rise by up to 40 per cent this year." |
