For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

keep up the good work comrades
it appears to me that nothing seems to satisfy the needs of the shell to sea group. from reading regional newspapers around mayo where s2s have repeatedly called for shell to do something about thte aluminium levels in carramore lake, the morning that they try to do something about it, protestors block the way. I mean do they think that one excavator and a dumper is going to sneakily build the terminal while the protestors arent looking?
And the point that was made about nothing being allowed in to fix the axonics until shell come clean is ridiculous......in essence, what you are saying is that, even if the filtration system isnt working properly, local residents in erris will have to continue drinking bad water until a certain group of people think they are entitled to permit Shell to resolve the issue.
Wake up and see the bigger picture. You've been sitting in that trailer for the winter months while no machines or anything was there to keep you busy and the second a machine arrives, it's back to the same old "out the way you came in" slogan...for the sake of the people, grow up, have responsibilities and let shell fix this issue
bert you obviously havent fully read the above article or any other of the articles about the pollution of carrowmore lake.
when it first emmerged that shell had caused this problem they tried to blame the protesters for not allowing them acess to the site at bellanaboy to sort it out. at a local shell to sea meeting it was decided to allow shell acess to bellanaboy to put a water treatment system in place, because obviously this is our drinking water and none of us want to be drinking high levels of alluminium.
since shell installed the axonics system it has been off more times than on, there is polluted water running off the site, axonics is completley inadaquate. if the system was working perfectly at 24 hrs a day (at the moment it spends 8 hrs a day just cleaning itself) it would take it til next august to just treat the water that is on the site at the moment.
so while shell have been messing around with this system, carrowmore lake is getting polluted the level of alluminium in the water has risen above acceptable levels as set out by the county council. many people up here have started to buy bottled water. a meeting in the broadhaven bay in belmullet about this drew a crowd of 160 people.
and still shell won't take responsibility. if this is the damage they do in preparing to build a refinery imagine what else they will do to this area.
and then they have the cheek to try and bring work vechicles into the site when they know the only reason they have been given acess to the site is to fix the mess they've already made. fair play to everyone at the trailer for the long hours and the dedication they've put in all winter. so bert before you try and have a go at these people maybe you should actually read aa the facts. of course the people at the trailer want the water problem solved, sure its them and their families who have to drink the water, not shell
To the Ballinaboy Group
Congratulations on your excellent stance against the Shell company. What you are doing requires real courage and physical stamina. I encourage you to stay strong in your resolve. The truth will come out eventually. Meantime, very best wishes.

Shell don't fix, they break.
first before i start and before ye're blood pressure goes up a notch or two; i'm not a shell lover nor am i one of those "shell to sea" people, i am just a local, sick to the teeth of listening to crap from both camps; each one trying to get one up on the other. i want to ask, is it since Shell came round here that the water in Carrowmore lake got so poisonous? well I'm afraid Carrowmore lake has had dirty water for as long as i can remember, as any one near that lake can tell you, and some more information for you, there has been carcasses dumped in the lake and not forgetting all the raw sewage, so maybe Shell if their allowed might clean up the water and make it drinkable before they leave!!!!!!!!
ah come on, theres a big difference between dirty water and water with high levels of alluminium. it was shell who caused this by removing tonnes of peat from bellanaboy in preparation for the refinery site, and thats not a disputed fact, everyone knows that. do you honestly thing shell are going to be going around fishing carcasses out of carrowmore lake? they can barely handle the problem they've already caused.
For those people who have real concerns for the environment and have an interest in the water situation at Bellanaboy, I would like to try and clear up a few matters.
Observations over the winter months by community representatives, including Shell To Sea members, have produced clear evidence of a major cover-up by the so-called responsible bodies, and in particlular Mayo County Council.
Below are the facts presented to the public as detailed below. It is worth bearing in mind that all points raised here can be verified by the words of Shell and the Council themselves.
********************************
Shell-To-Sea Public Meeting - Broadhaven Bay Hotel (09/03/06)
We are not experts, just observers… but we do have eyes, and we can read.
We feel it is our duty to the affected community to share our findings.
POINTS OF FACT
An acknowledged threat to Carrowmore Lake exists on the Bellanaboy site
This water threat is due to the excavation work carried out on that site
Remedial works have been described as urgent since August 2005
Contaminated water has been leaving the site since (at least) early October 2005
The developers have had full access to Bellanaboy for 134 days (and counting)
Mayo County Council have had full access at all times
The proposed treatment system is still not fully operational
Mayo County council have approved the discharge of treated water to Carrowmore Lake
The Axonics treatment system has not been certified to or by Mayo County Council
The treatment system has never been put to the proposed use before
Amounts of treated water are currently being discharged in contradiction of the agreed
Environmental Monitoring Plan of January 2006
Mayo County Council are the responsible statutory body
We don’t wish to alarm people, just to present the facts.
**************************************
The problem has been an ongoing one and yet no-one has claimed any responsibility for decisions taken regarding the site, including these new proposed upgrades to an already experimental system. This must not be allowed to continue.
