Mayo pipeline controversy

Madam, - The letter from Tony Allwright (July 15th) on the Rossport gas pipeline was most reassuring. I presume he would have no objection to a 340-bar gas pipeline running through his garden, serving a huge refinery on Killiney Hill?

After all, both areas are similar in being populated, coastal and highly scenic. However, ground conditions in Killiney are much better, due to the absence of local landslides and unstable bogland.

Of course the pipeline is safe as far as Mr Allwright is concerned. Rossport is over 200 miles away. Does he take the people of Erris for fools? - Yours, etc,
