Galway Shell to Sea: Conscience V Corruption, Maura Endures to Prevail

"It's not my gig"

At today's gathering of the FF faithful in Galway, Cowen warned that Ireland is facing "much tougher" economic times, unfortunately, at the chic 4-Star Clayton hotel, venue of the "think-in" the hard times were very much in abeyance with designer nosh dished up at lunch time by that establishment's "world class chef." Meanwhile, outside the gates of Shell's Glengad compound, Maura Harrington was on Day 7 of her hunger strike with a supine, anesthetized mainstream media barely reporting on her plight.

Along with the No 2 Lisbon 2 and USI activists augmented by a coach load of beleaguered Sligo people trying to save their cancer services, Galway Shell to Sea picketed the hotel for 5 hours with Eoghan Fox bearding FF Senator Marc MacSharry who had the temerity to vent his bullshit on the Sligo people but who limply slunk away, when challenged by Eoghan, with a mumble that sounded something like; "It's not my gig," this, from a fellow who was spokesperson for the Marine and Natural Resources in the 22nd Seanad (see Related Link).
