S2S Protest in Dublin; Shell Out & Solidarity with Maura Harrington

St Patricks Day saw Shell to Sea activists from around Ireland descend on Dublin for a day of protest against the Corrib Gas Project.

The day started with activists from Dublin and Cork sailing down the river Liffey chatting 'Free Maura Harrington' as the parade moved over O'Connell bridge. Activists from Dublin and Rossport were denied access to O'Connell street by a large and agressive gardai presence who persisted thoroughtout the day to halt our protests. Nonetheless we continued with banner drops and leafleting at Croke Park, St Lukes, Drumcondra and Mountjoy throughout the day. Shell to Sea stands in solidarity with Maura Harrington who has been imprisoned by the 26 county government for her opposition to the robbery of Irish Natural Resources and the destruction of her home place by Shell et al.

Good work there; there's a lot of informing needs doing to dispel the fog of lies & misinformation in the media. Even the Irish Times has joined in the pit of propaganda.
