More than 400 small boat migrants have arrived in the first two days of Labour's returns deal with France, making a mockery of claims it would be a "new deterrent".

AI is a distraction from what it means to be truly human, says Dr David Bell. We should aim for far greater things, find again the vastness of the jewelled sky and the light that only shines in another's eye.

When a man in Dublin stabs a police officer while shouting "Allahu Akbar" you can be pretty sure it's not the work of an indigenous Irishman. So why are the media at pains to pretend it is, asks Andrew Devine.

British TV grows more and more unwatchable with each passing day. That might be because BAFTA is on a mission to transform every TV show into climate propaganda ? and it's just stepped up a gear, says Steven Tucker.

Successful Shell To Sea Picket On The Finglas Road (29/03/08)

category dublin | anti-capitalism | news report author Saturday March 29, 2008 14:45author by Nikita - CYM Report this post to the editors

This afternoon, activists gathered at the Shell station on the Finglas road for a picket called by the Connolly Youth Movement. Comrades from many different political backgrounds joined us in our support of the Rossport people and opposition to the dangerous pipeline being built in Mayo without the consent of the local community.
Shell To Sea!
Shell To Sea!

The picket started around 12pm and lasted for an hour and a half until 1.30pm. Around 20 activists attended the action in good spirits and hundreds of leaflets were distributed to the local community who were very supportive of the cause. Buses, taxis and passing cars all tooted their horns in solidarity as well.

During the picket, we managed to block both entrances to the station meaning it was virtually deserted for the duration of the action, much to the annoyance of the Shell manager. As usual the police turned up rather late but in quite large numbers, thankfully however, this time the special branch wern't around to harass the activists.

At the end of the picket, the weather was declining but we all headed off into town anyway to go support the march for a decent health service. The picket will continue again next month on the Finglas Road as we continue to put pressure on Shell to go offshore and respect the rights of the local community.

The Struggle Continues!
