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.

Norwegian Day with Shell to Sea

Shell to Sea campaigners carried a section of pipeline behind the Norwegian parade, to draw attention to the Norwegian government's part in the Corrib scheme.

SHELL NOT WANTED IN ROSSPORT

Syttende mai (May 17th) is commemorated every year by Norwegians all around the world, to mark their country's achievement of independence. A parade was held this morning in Dublin, when many members of the Norwegian community carried their country's flag along Grafton Street.

They were joined this year by members of the Shell to Sea campaign, who followed along behind with a section of Pipeline with PROPERTY OF STATOIL and NOT WANTED IN ROSSPORT printed on the side.

John Monaghan of Shell to Sea said: "This year in Ireland May 17th was also marked by Shell to Sea activists who want to point out the absurd situation whereby the people of Ireland will benefit nothing from the Corrib gas field, while the people of Norway will see the profits invested in their schools, hospitals, roads and pensions."

"Norway owns 71 per cent of Statoil. Statoil has a 36.5 per cent stake in the Corrib field. This means that the citizens of Norway will own 25 per cent of the gas produced. Meanwhile, because of the lrish State's giveaway licensing system, the people of Ireland will get nothing, and will have to buy back their own natural resource at market rates. The profits from gas that lies off the Mayo coast will be invested in infrastructure projects in places like Fredrikstad and Oslo, while gas prices for consumers in Ireland are projected to rise by up to 40 per cent this year."

"Shell to Sea thinks the Corrib deal should be re-negotiated for the benefit of the people of Ireland. We admire the way that the Norwegians have managed their own natural resources. However we're not very happy that they are allowed to take ours too, without giving us anything in return. We'd be better off applying for Norwegian citizenship."

A group of 25 activists braved the wet weather to follow the parade up to the bandstand in Stephen's Green, and on the way they handed out miniature Norwegian flags with information about the Corrib scheme printed on the back.

A very innovative action by Shell to Sea. The Norwegian parade was led by the Garda band at a fast beat and the end of the Norwegian group and between Shell to Sea probably the bandsmen's vans which omniously looked like White Marias! There was a large enough group of ordinary Norwegians to share the message with.

Here's a report from a London Rising Tider with a single Shell share, who went into its Annual General Meeting, while others stayed outside to leaflet shareholders and passers-by. The main meeting took place in The Hague, with a video feed to London, or the Novotel Hammersmith, to be precise.

The cops wouldn't let us get too close to the Norwegian Ambassador, so we paused for a group photograph.

When the speeches were over, the sergeant came over to tell us we we welcome to leaflet and mingle with the crowd.

After that, we just had to get the pipeline home...

There was special reception hosted by the Norwegian Ambassador for May 17th at Belvedere Rugby Club in the heart of Dublin 4.

Guess who were there to meet the guests, and remind them of Norway's part in the exploitation of Ireland's natural resources, and the scheme to install a dangerous, unsafe pipeline trhough a residential area?

It's a very anal comment I know, but 17th of May celebrates the signing of the Norwegian constitution at Eidsvoll this day in 1814, not independence at claimed in your article. Full independence was gained 8th June 1905.

May 17th is Constitution Day, but it seems often celebrated as Norwegian Day, or simply 17th May. Since the end of the Second World War there's been a half-hearted attempt to tie in May 17th as a commemoration of the Norwegian struggle under German occupation in those years too, but it seems that the day is usually seen as a straight-forward celebration of being Norwegian.
