As many people know Willie Corduff (from Rossport 5 fame) was recently assaulted whilst undertaking a protest action against Shell's illegal work in Glengad. There has been much discussion, debate and spin, to the highest levels of national media and politics. In these short video interviews Willie tells the story in his own words.

Never mind media guff, Willie and the Rossport/Kilcommon people are living legends and deserve our support to defend Ireland from gombeens and corporate bloodsuckers. Everyone's human rights are at risk when this sort of outrage takes place and the Garda turn away.

I have just listened to The pat kenny program hosted presently by miles Dungan presenting once again a suposedly unbiased documentary on the corrib gas protests. James Farrell the IRMS security boss was allowed to present his propaganda lies completely unchalenged by anyone. He claims that his men are trained to use minimum force and do not wish to harm any one , also they carry cameras to record acts of intimidation to workers. WHY DOES HE NOT SHOW THESE ACTS ON U TUBE?
THERE WAS NO MENTION OF WILLIE CORDUFF.
Seeing that this man claims his men did not touch willie and that one of his men was injured earlier by a man with a mask using an iron bar on the site, you would think that he would be qeustioned on this issue.
Also the Gardai keep spouting the same lies and claim that Willie has not made a complaint to them,
I WONDER WHY ? IT WOULD'NT BE THAT HE DOSEN'T TRUST THE GARDAI WOULD IT?

THE ORDINARY PUBLIC CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT WILLIE BEAT HIMSELF AND PUT HIMSELF IN HOSPITAL AND WOULD NOT DISCLOSE HIS INJURIES TO THEM WHEN ASKED.
There seems to be no Garda investigation into this crime of agravated asault . Maybe they will find a way of charging Willie with an act of violence against himself
I HAVE HEARD OF IRISH MYTHOLOGY BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT THE GARDAI CREATED IT.
WE LIVE AND LEARN.
