Protester scales the building
Aproximate attendance of 50 people over the course of the demonstration.
Members of various groups and organisations including Sinn Féin, Ógra Shinn Fein and even the Green Party gathered at Corrib House at lunchtime to show solidarity with the besieged community in Erris and their fight against Shell's scheme to pump raw gas through a high pressure production pipeline and build a huge polluting refinery.
On the day that the Nobel Peace prize went to Climate Change activists, protesters wondered if the Irish Government's congratulations to the winners will mention that we are helping Shell build a huge gas refinery?
More and more people are wondering if we would be better off simply leaving the gas where it is, at least until a safe and environmentally sound way of using can be arrived at. It the meantime it's getting more and valuable.
There will be further protests and demonstrations in Dublin in the run up to the anniversary of the execution of Ken Saro Wiwa on November 10th. For info send an email to Dublinshelltosea@gmail.com
