Come up to Mayo, people are needed Friday 25th November saw over 5 hours of Shell's peat and stone haulage completely blocked by campaigners, and no arrests were made. First thing in the morning four campaigners had trucks blocked for over an hour and a half, and later on one person climbed on top of a peat truck outside Shell's Bellanaboy refinery, remaining there for 3 and a half hours stopping all haulage.

At about 7.15am Friday 25th November four people went out to Shell's haulage route to stop workers from getting to the Aughoose tunneling compound. A van full of workers was stopped, along with the first load of quarry trucks which came along about 10-15 minutes later.

Great work, very impressed. Keep it up.
So how exactly is this good? What exactly is it going to achieve? What is the battle you are trying to win with this behaviour? Do any of you know what you are protesting against anymore? This is what you spend your time doing when there are unbelieveable acts of environmental destruction which is completely unpoliced all around Ireland. What about the destruction of our protected national habitats daily from the very people who should be protecting them....I think Shell to Sea have completely lost sight of their real aims.
....and you might find out, instead of pontificating behind a computer keyboard. If you don't know what this is about by now,
you shouldn't be representing yourself as someone who has concerns about the environment. Or you might be a
member of the EPA or Taisce, both of which will talk the talk then go belly up when the big calls have to be made.
When thousands of tons of peat are being moved from an environmentally sensitive area by Royal Dutch Shell
at a time when turf cutters are banned from cutting turf for domestic use people are bound to question EU laws
which favour the multinationals.
The right to protest to protect our environment which includes our vital water supply (over 10000 homes),the air we
breathe,the basic human right to live in one,s home without fear of death from explosion,these are our human
and civil rights WE will protect them.We can only judge SHELL by its apalling record of abuses worldwide in all these
areas.
