Report from Saturday Protest at the GPO

On Saturday afternoon a crowd of over seventy people participated in a solidarity protest with the Erris community and Maura Harrington who is currently on day 6 of a hungerstrike calling on the Solitaire to leave Irish waters.

The brutal disregard shown for the local community through out every stage of the Corib Gas project continues as the community face increased Garda intimidation and harrassment. The Solitaire has still not clarified its plans for the coming weeks and if it will remain in Irish waters.

Dublin Shell to Sea has called for people to show their support for the community and lay the blame firmly at Shells door at a daily vigil outside Shell HQ at 6pm, with a 24hour vigil from Friday.

Stop Shell playing russian roulette with Maura's life.
