Saturday March 10, 2012 21:32 by j debender - Rossport Solidarity Camp A field in Aughoose, between Bellanaboy and Pullathomas 085.114.1170
Protests continue despite recent heavy sentencing! Lock-on Thursday, lorry climbing Friday, and hungover Gardaí Saturday Friday 9th March, two people walked up to Shell's compound and began stopping vehicles going in. As several trucks slowed down one person seized the moment to climb on top of a Barretts' quarry truck, blocking the road outside Shell's tunneling compound in Aughoose. She stayed on top of the lorry for about 2 hours, then got down without being arrested. After Thursday's successful roadblock (http://www.indymedia.ie/article/101496), Gardaí were not happy to have another protest to deal with Friday afternoon. Friday night was the retirement party of 'rape tape' ex-Sergeant James Gill, which most of the Belmullet guards would be attending. The last thing the protest removal team wanted was to have to get out their cherry-picker to remove someone from a lorry before their big night out. Consequently the lorry-climber was basically left to it. With work finishing up at Shell's compound they bounced down and sauntered away.
