Shell to Sea / Rossport Solidarity Camp Update from Erris Co. Mayo. November 2009. While Glengad and Shell issues have largely gone from the public eye, and indeed things have quietened down some what, that's not to say that stuff hasn’t been going on, it just doesn’t always make the media. * Shell have completely vacated the Glengad compound in the last few week or so. Unfortunately they haven’t done a wonderful job of cleaning up after themselves. Plenty of rubble was left behind on the beach from the causeway that they extended out to sea and then removed.

Cliff Face 'Reinstated' from a pipe-line trench.
Mounds of rubble left on clifftop with run-off pipe in bottom left corner.
.
You'll remember that this used to be a sandy beach.
Imported and/or excavated stone and rubble left lying on the sand.
What a 'Reinstated' environment looks like.
That $hell and the Co.Co of mayo have managed to make a mess of the coastline comes as no supprise. Thankfully this is not nigeria and the "mess" amounts to conversion of a sandy beach to rock strewn scree. What are the "parks and wildlife service" doing. Hot on evicting the low impact "camp" last year with the full vigore of the corrupt law. But dead slow to tackle $hell and the mess they created. Would the small question of brown envelopes have anything to do with this?. Murder in Nigeria? Corruption in Ireland? - Smells of $hell! - the stench streches from Drumcondra to Mayo gets stronger by the second. ENDS
SHell and their contractors do NOT care about the destruction they cause or the environment mess ( DESTRUCTION ) they make or leave behind. Would the people of Westport or any other beach front property like it , if this was done to their Beach. I think NOT ! So why is it that they ($h£LL) can just leave this dangerous mess on a beach where people go surfing, never mind trying to walk; which use to be a flat sandy beach. When are the Government officials going face up to the fact that this destruction will not be tolerated, where are the Parks and Wildlife officers? If local people did this in any area around Ireland, would there not be an investigation and prosecutions? Well shit ; we all know who did this destruction, Parks and Wildlife know. The locals should bring them all to court as we know that the local Judge does not stand for land or sea pollution. SO lets sue Mayo C.C. parks and Wildlife and most important shell and their contractors. They can not get away with this: Lets start the court actions and Legal proceedings ! ! !
Cant wait for it all the action when solitare comes back next year looking forward to it.
Thanks for the update.
It does not seem, however, that the pictures can be said to show 'reinstatement'. The so-called cliff face seems to be a sloped off soil embankmet covering over God only knows what, designed to just about hold together until Shell decides to plough through again (not that they'll find it easy third/fourth? time round).
A country where a statutory body such as NPWS allows this insult to stand unchecked is on a hiding to nowhere.
Prt of Glengad Beach, before and after the 2008 destruction.
The photos are very good, but can't show the degree of damage to nesting-sites of sand-martins, wheatears, ringed plovers, & other waders, nor the grease & other pollutants on a public beach.
Maybe it's time to ask Karen Gaynor for her opinion on this destruction. Afterall, it was her opinion regarding the alleged destruction upon the machair system by the S2S camp that facilitated Mayo CC bringing a case against the campers and having them evicted from the area. Which in turn facilitated Shell's wanton destruction, in no small way, in the immediate and surrounding area.
