The global oil firm Shell is due to take High Court action today in an effort to have five people jailed for protesting against a controversial pipeline in Co Mayo.

The court has already granted an injunction preventing protestors from obstructing the company's efforts to gain access to private land to lay the high-pressure pipeline.

The structure is part of Shell's development of the Corrib gas field off the Co Mayo coast.

Local residents believe it poses an unacceptable safety risk.
