Four years in the making, The Pipe tells the story of a tug-of-war between a small coastal community and the combined power of Shell Oil and the Irish State. When Shell develops an off-shore drilling platform, the rights of local farmers and fishermen come under threat. When the citizens look to their State to protect their rights, they find that the government is on Shell’s side. What ensures is a struggle of David and Goliath proportions which halts and splits the community and garners the attention of the entire nation.
