Labour Youth calls for Nationalisation of Corrib Gas

Labour Youth calls for Nationalisation of Corrib Gas In advance of a national Shell to Sea demonstration taking place on Saturday Labour Youth has called for the government to nationalise the Corrib Gas. The demonstration begins at 2pm at the Garden of Remembrance in Parnell Square and a large turnout of Labour Youth activists is expected.

Speaking in advance of the demonstration Patrick Nulty Labour Youth Chair stated that:

"The Corrib gas which was given away to Shell for free must immediately be returned to the Irish people, so that cheap and affordable gas can be supplied to Irish homes. At the same time the profits from the gas sales could be used to end hospital waiting lists, deliver free GP care and be invested in education.

"Labour Youth is calling for an immediate withdrawal of the heavy Garda presence from the Erris area. These gardai should be redeployed to communities where they are both wanted and needed to work with people on the ground to protect their interests

– rather than protecting the interests of multi-nationals like Shell.
