Thanks from Erris Shell to Sea and from Rossport Solidarity Camp for making sure of our protesting presence outside that FF party meeting. Maura Harrington's hunger strike is now into a seventh day - the situation is getting more urgent as the hours pass. Time for us all to get active all around the country as well as here in Erris and put some real pressure on Shell and the government!
Any contact info for Galway Shell to Sea? any more vigils or actions planned?
IshtarCelt! Galway S2S can be contacted at galwayshelltosea@yahoogroups.com
As I'm returning to the Rossport Solidarity Camp tomorrow, Eoghan Fox is the main man to contact regarding future pickets and actions.?
This evening in the Nun's Island Theatre (2 mins walk from Mill Street Garda Station) at 6PM, well known author, freelance journalist and activist, Michael McCaughan will be launching his new book ‘The Price of our Souls: Gas, Shell and Ireland’ (discussion afterwards).
In a thoughtful article in today's Irish Time titled: "You don't build trust through gunboat diplomacy" Fintan O'Toole writes that; "A final opportunity exists for consent to replace coercion over the Corrib gas project; the State must take it ... Even with this tweaking of the law in Shell's favour, the project has been marked by some obvious illegalities. Eamon Ryan himself failed to issue notices of consent to some of the current work at Glengad, as required by law - an "oversight" we were told. Shell built a road at Glengad without planning permission - An Bord Pleanála allowed them to retain it. A Shell contractor carried out entirely unauthorised drilling in the Glenamoy area of special conservation - it was ordered to restore the area but no prosecution was taken ... That it has been allowed to happen is a particular disgrace for the Green Party and especially for its brightest star, Minister for Energy Eamon Ryan ... Having supported the protesters and been elected partly on a promise to review the entire project, Eamon Ryan has a personal moral obligation to take on that responsibility.
I can be contacted on the above number if needs be. Send me a txt and Ill make sure your added to list etc.
So its not your gig!!!!? Im afraid it is McSharry. His silence was deafning. Ignorance rulled that day in the Clayton. They thought the would have a nice conference in Galway, and take a few token letters and concerns from the poor people of Sligo.
But where they fly............ We will not be far!!!!
Keep it up comrades!
