Global Community Monitor aims to hold major corporations accountable in America and throughout the world.

Through GCM, local community struggles are linked, and their efforts multiplied.

The group sent a fact-finding mission to report on the policing operation in Erris County Mayo early last year.

Denny Larson will speak about his experience of relations between the local community and the Gardai, and draw analogies with other human rights and environmental campaigns with which GCM is involved.

People can obviously talk about what they like and ask any question s they want. However on the GCm website it says:

"This report does not take a position against or in favor of the gas pipeline and refinery project. Neither does it review the activities of the oil companies involved. The report is limited to the relations between the local community and the Gardai."
