Blockades continue

Early this morning over 200 people protesting against the construction of the Corrib Gas terminal at Ballinaboy blocked the Bangor Road and prevented access to the site.

At 08.00 they were forcibily removed from the road by the police and some injuries were sustained. Some of the workers managed to enter the site but their trucks have so far failed to enter.

At the time of writing, the protesters are making their way towards police lines at the oil road to Bangor to prevent the trucks from proceeding to the site.

Please show solidarity with the people of Erris by participating in a demonstration or a blockade near you. Shell and Statoil garages are being targeted with other installations across the country to be announced. Details will be posted on Indymedia all this week.

However iif you can, get across to Erris and take part in the blockade of the terminal. Details at the link below.
