SHELL has been told by Natural Resources Minister Noel Dempsey that it is in breach of the 'consents' it received for work on the controversial Mayo gas pipeline.

It is understood Mr Dempsey wrote to Shell Ireland last night following an earlier exchange of letters. He has told the company that he wants it to "undo" the work carried out under the consents.

Five Mayo men, now known as the Rossport Five, have been in prison for more than a month. They were jailed for contempt of court following protests over the Shell development.
