Urgent callout for support
In the past two hours a mass of State and Shell security has assembled in Broadhaven bay including a heavily armed navy vessel.
This is to protect the first attempt at laying the offshore section of pipe.
The Gardai sealed a section of beach beside the camp illegally for an hour before retreating and now rearriving.
The bay is awash with security vessels,gardai water units and also a large Navy vessel ,possibly "The Orla" which is armed with a canon and smaller guns.
This is the largest recent attempt at crushing any resistance to the Shell project.
There is also a heavy Grada presence on land with protesters being intimidated,filmed and harassed.
Solidarity needed!
