Wednesday July 20, 2011 13:09 by RSC - Shell to Sea
Shell to Sea protest halts Shell's peat works for second day At 10.30 am this morning Shell to Sea campaigners stopped work for the second day in a row at the Bord na Móna site at Shramore, near Bangor, Co. Mayo. They are currently on the site and occupying machinery. The site is currently preparing to store the 125,000 tonnes of peat that Shell will attempt to remove in the coming weeks. While rural communities are faced with a turf cutting ban, Shell is allowed to remove 125,000 tonnes from an area surrounded by EU Special Areas of Conservation, this on top of the 600,000 tonnes of peat that was removed during the creation of Shell's refinery in Ballinaboy. A banner saying "Turf Cutting - One law for people, One law for Shell" was hung on the gates of the Bord na Móna site. |

For the information of the 'watchers' on this site, it must be stated that the determination
of the proposed Shell/Corrib Project remains moot.
The site at Srahmore didn't open today.
The cops and the council came in the middle of the night
and stole a caravan belonging to the Camp!
