clare | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice Tuesday February 14, 2006 00:28 by Niall Harnett - Clare Shell to Sea / Gluaiseacht 086 8444966

As part of the International Day of Shell to Sea Solidarity Actions.

On Saturday 18th February at 1pm, Clare Shell to Sea will be staging a 'Boycott Shell' picket at the Shell Service Station (opposite St Flannan's College) on the Limerick Rd, Ennis.

No to Shell.

The fact that Shell have sold their retail business to Topaz means little to us. Topaz bought Shell's brand and signs etc and continue to buy their fuel. Shell product is still being sold wholesale to every Shell garage and fuel depot in Ireland. All Topaz get is the 'retail profit margin' on what they buy from Shell.

So this means that we have every reason to continue the protests at Shell garages into the future.

All welcome to come and show their support on Saturday for the campaign that goes on until Shell go to sea.
