http://www.corribsos.com/index.php?id=1724
Did Gormley really give permission? It makes no sense since he reprimanded Shell for damaging the SAC in October.
I hope that we all come back out of the woodwork this year,
i think its time we prepared for full scale war with shell-
they will not be allowed to lay a pipeline ,
the people of Erris need help, the solidarity camp also needs help.
are you willing to stop them????
Shell has been awarded a foreshore licence for the work by Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries Mary Coughlan .
Seemingly she has juridiction for anything below high water mark!
"The spokeswoman said this licence covered the fact the area is an SAC and comes under the EU habitats directive. An environmental management plan would be put in place."
Gormely will be off the hook for this, Shell are cute hoors
Why is it that we hear time and time again that our so-called government cannot undo the done deal, that there is no leverage etc. Was drilling in the bay a part of the original deal? I don't think it can have been, since Shell have only now been given permission to drill in the SAC. Methinks the Government can be shown to be in violation of its own contract with ourselves and can be shown to have used a string (more like a rope) of deceit to facilitate the violation.
Why not sue the State in a massive class action and injunct the drilling (and everything else) until the civil suit is taken care of.
Sean why dont YOU sue the State in a massive class action and injunct the drilling (and everything else) until the civil suit is taken care of.
or else wake up and smell toe coffee.
...
I could not credibly initiate such an action. However, if such an action were initiated, I could and would take part in the action as could anyone else in the country.
Here is a link to raw gas pipelines in Holland, good video, and worth watching!
Here's a video, made by a local resident, of the gas pipeline explosion at Durham Woods, Edison New Jersey in 1994. Well worth watching.
Minister gormely had nothing to do with this, this is marine ministers field.
If it is below high water mark, gormely cant touch it!
Have just watched - and LISTENED - to Edison Gas Explosion video.
It's no bloody wonder that the slobber video posted above this one seems to be no longer available.
Thanks to whoever posted the Edison video.
