Shell 2 Sea Protest outside FF HQ

Members of Labour Youth marked the anniversary of Ken Sara Wiwa's murder by protesting outside Fianna Fail Headquarters on Lower Mount Street. There was a good response from members of the public who were leafletted and members of Labour Youth held placards saying "Shell 2 Sea" , " Nationalise our Gas" and "FF gave our Gas Away".

The protest was held in solidarity with the community in Erris who were viciously assaulted and baton charged this morning. Members of Labour Youth were amongst those attacked and assaulted by baton wielding Gardai this morning in Erris.

Speaking at the protest Labour Youth chair Patrick Nulty stated that:
"Fianna Fails commitment to maintaining Shell's future profit margins is far greater than their commitment to the safety of the people of Mayo.

"This action by Labour Youth comes in the wake of a strong show of support and solidarity with the local community in Rossport from a delegation of Labour Party TDs who visited the area earlier this week."
