Presentation of large cheque at the Embassy at 2.45PM

After the lunchtime talk in Trinity, Shell to Sea Activists from Dublin and Mayo will hand in a symbolic cheque to the Norwegian Embassy, to make the point that while the people of Ireland will gain nothing from the Corrib Scheme, the people of Norway, through thir country's part ownership of Statoil, will benefit from the exploitation of Irish resources.

The Norwegian Embassy is on Molesworth Street, opposite the Passport Office.

Shell to Sea believes that the resources of Ireland belong to the people who live in Ireland, and profits from them should be used to build up infrastructure and services in Ireland, including investment in renewable energy.
