Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5Are the fishermen going to stops shells destruction of broadhaven bay by blockading the ships that are already there or is this just a get together to show support.
more info would be helpful
More info from 'John' about 'John' would be equally helpful!
Is this the 'John' who trolled the Shell road, one wonders. The invitation by EIFA is for people to show solidarity with the fishermen and their families by coming to Ballyglass Pier at noon on Mon next.
In preparation for the Ballyglass Pier event, a detailed description of the area is given on www. sea-angling-ireland.org.
" The waters around Belmullet are famous for the sheer variety of fishing available - it holds the record for the largest number of species caught in Irish waters on inshore boat competions. Some 38 species were caught in one day...exceptional areas of shore angling coastline in Ireland..."
Renewable resources - worth protecting!
The selling point that Shell use the most is about all the jobs they are creating in the area. While there is a lot of short-term construction jobs there will only be about 50 long-term jobs. And how long will these 50 jobs last?
However a lot of the long-term jobs in the area will be negatively effected by the refinery in particular the fishing and tourism jobs. Coupled with all the health & environmental effects this is too high a price to pay for 50 jobs.
I'll be there to support the fishermen.
And don't forget nearly all the better paid construction jobs are occupied by outsiders(mostly roadbridge types based in Limerick) who will move on once its built. I suspect and the evidence is already clear that any locals employed will be assigned low paid positions in security/ cleaning etc. Shell only employ Irish people on decent pay when it suits them ie for PR purposes which unfortunatly attracts undesirables and Uncle Toms like Egan, Cronin and co. Hence all the offshore work on the drilling rigs and ships is being done by Scottish workers. Another example of Shells contempt for the people of this country.
