Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Pobal Chill Chomáin (PCC, English: People of Kilcommon, also informally known as Gas to Glinsk) is a pressure group based in the parish of Kilcommon, Erris County Mayo, Ireland. It emerged from the larger S2S campaign in April 2008. Vincent McGrath, one of the Rossport Five, is its chairman. After its members campaiged for many years against Shell and the Irish government's actions (see Corrib gas controversy), PCC proposed that the refinery site be moved to Glinsk, a large uninhabited area a few miles to the east of the intended pipeline route and refinery. The proposal was publicly backed by Labour Party president Michael D. Higgins, Bishop of Killala Dr. John Fleming, and local Fine Gael Teachta Dála Michael Ring but rejected by Shell and the government. PCC submitted an application to the European Commission seeking an injunction suspending State consents for the Mayo gas project. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development has deemed a PCC complaint about the three oil companies involved admissible (for breaching their guidelines for multinationals), and has offered to mediate between the two sides.
