We believe that safe and reliable operations are the foundations upon which a sustainable and responsible business is built. As operator of the Corrib natural gas facilities, Shell Ireland is committed to keeping our neighbours informed of specific information pertaining to the Corrib gas onshore pipeline. This booklet relates to the landfall valve installation (LVI) and onshore pipeline only and does not cover the Bellanaboy Bridge Gas Terminal for which a separate booklet is available.
