Come one, come all!

This Saturday the Shell to Sea campaign are asking the people of the North West to come along and join our Sligo march, rally and benefit in support of the Rossport 5.

The 5 Mayo farmers have been in prison for over 2 months for peacefully and LEGALLY taking on the might of Shell, Statoil and the Irish Government who are building one of Europe's biggest gas refineries on fragile bogland in a North Mayo Gaelteacht.

This is a highly dangerous and unprecendented project that:

- puts local lives in danger with a high pressure, unclean gas pipeline

- damages a pristine natural environment including lakes, bogs, beaches, dolphins...

- will pump up to 20Billion Euros of gas out of Ireland with minimal return for Ireland.

- is the result of a corrupt and immoral planning process

- has no safety authority to look after it

This is an issue of national and international importance!

PLEASE come and
SHOW SUPPORT - JOIN THE RALLY AND MARCH - COME TO THE BENEFIT GIG

Assemble: Market yard, Sligo 3pm. March to City Hall for Rally with families, campaigners and Jerry Cowley TD. Bring friends, families, drums, banners...

Benefit gig: Music, DJs, Bands, songs upstairs at the Trades Club, Castle St. (opposite Greenes shoes), Sligo from 9pm - a fiver in. SPREAD THE WORD!!!!
