Justice Finnegan defers judgement again- April 7th set as new hearing date. A large group of Shell to Sea activists gathered at the Four Courts at 10AM this morning to show support for the Rossport 5, whose case was set for a hearing. The men and their wives received a standing ovation when they attended the Green Party Annual Convention in Kilkenny at the weekend. Micheál Ó Seighin spoke on the platform before the leader's address on Saturday. |

Three of the Rossport 5 came to Dublin, along with supporters from Mayo.

Shell will NOT push this unsafe pipeline on the people of Mayo.
The court's delays only strengthens the men's will.
Opposition to Shell's unsafe pipeline is widespread.
Media were out in force.
The men came prepared to return to prison if necessary.
The justice system as always is proving long,elongated and expensive,
the scales being weighed by money and powert.
Shell WILL NOT lay their profit-pipe on these mens lands,those activists
involved in the struggle are prepared to go to any length to prevent this from
happening.they will have to imprison many more before the State and big
business have any sort of clear path.
Resistance is fertile
Solidarity!!
Without the support of the people of Mayo, this pipeline cannot be built. And the people of Mayo will not support an unsafe pipeline.
Opposition to the pipeline in Mayo is widespread, as evidenced by these photos from last summer.
Every road you follow in the Rossport area, you see signs of support.
The Irish people are a force to be reckoned with.
Article 13 of the European Convention on Human Rights reads as follows:
"Everyone whose rights and freedoms as set forth in this Convention are violated shall have an effective remedy before a national authority notwithstanding that the violation has been committed by persons acting in an official capacity."
Last Saturday, an application relating to similar problems (to those of Rossport), was submitted to the European Court of Human Rights.
It is hoped that last Saturday's application may - by indirect means - cause Mr Justice Joseph Finnegan and his colleagues to alter their current thinking on the way the legal system is being used at the present time in connection with human rights issues.
Further information relating to last Saturday's completed ECHR application form (for Case Number 25077/05) can be found at:

That's a horrible photo isn't it. Offensive. To think of the lads at home packing those bags and thinking they might end up back in jail. And then to be sent home again with no definitive judgement one way or the other, traipsing back and forth from Dublin as if they'd nothing better to be doing?
Joseph Finnegan, what kind of a man are you at all?
I've just noticed that one of the photos above has Mary Corduff listed as Maureen McGrath. Wonder if the caption needs to be changed?
