Shell to Sea

In April 2008, a new group was set up by people formerly active in Shell to Sea. Pobal Chill Chomáin proposed moving the refinery to Glinsk, which would have removed the necessity to transport the raw untreated gas near people's homes and under roads, and also saved Shell the extra cost of refining offshore. The proposal was rejected by Shell.
Shell to Sea kayak training, Glengad, August 2008
In August 2008, Shell to Sea began training for marine protests in anticipation of the arrival of the Allseas pipe-laying ship Solitaire, the biggest of its kind in the world. The Shell to Sea fleet was composed mostly of inflatable dinghies and kayaks, but also included a small sailboat, a currach, and two rigid-hulled inflatable boats, one of which was used purely as a safety boat.
