Corrib activist to attend Shell agm<br />
<br />
By Lorna Siggins, Marine Correspondent<br />
<br />
North Mayo farmer Willie Corduff, Ireland's first winner of the <br />
international Goldman Environmental Award, plans to attend Royal Dutch Shell <br />
plc's annual general meeting in Holland tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Mr Corduff, who was jailed for 94 days in 2005 over his opposition to the <br />
Corrib gas pipeline, is one of five members of the Shell to Sea campaign <br />
travelling as shareholders to Royal Dutch Shell headquarters in The Hague.<br />
<br />
He says he intends to raise concerns at the meeting over Shell's involvement <br />
in the Corrib gas project in Mayo, and will speak as a recent winner of the <br />
Goldman Environmental Award.<br />
<br />
The Shell to Sea campaign was donated 50 shares over a year ago by an <br />
anonymous donor, and these were distributed among residents opposed to the <br />
Corrib gas project and leading campaign members. Eve Campbell of the <br />
Rossport Solidarity Camp said this was the first time they had decided to <br />
exercise their right to attend the agm as a group.<br />
<br />
Registered shareholders with the multinational can attend, speak and vote at <br />
agms, according to Shell, but voting entitlements depend on the number of <br />
shares held at the time.<br />
<br />
Ms Campbell said the aim of the trip was to voice concerns about Shell's <br />
activities in Erris and to let shareholders know what was happening.<br />
<br />
"We also wanted to highlight the issue in Holland, and to let Dutch people <br />
know that what is happening in Erris would never happen in their country."<br />
<br />
The agm, which is relayed by satellite link to Shell shareholders in London, <br />
will be presented with Shell's annual report and will elect directors and <br />
auditors. Ms Campbell said the Shell to Sea campaign had been working with a <br />
Shell shareholding grouping, the Ecumenical Council for Corporate <br />
Responsibility (ECCR).<br />
<br />
The Oxford-based organisation holds shares in Royal Dutch Shell on behalf of <br />
its members - comprising representatives of mainstream Christian <br />
denominations, church bodies and individuals. The ECCR has undertaken a <br />
number of analyses of records in global corporate responsibility held by <br />
multinationals such as Shell, Rio Tinto mining, BP, Glaxo Smithkline and <br />
Marks & Spencer. It is compiling a report on the €900 million Corrib gas <br />
project off Mayo.<br />
<br />
Mr Corduff will be making his trip to Holland almost a fortnight after <br />
returning to north Mayo with the $125,000 (€92,418.12) Goldman award and <br />
trophy.<br />

of course Galway City Council , the greens and any other gob****** who gets the oppurtunity, will use the award to get publicity for themselfs.<br />
where was Galway City Council (or the greens for that matter) six yrs ago when this mess could have been sorted?<br />
I also think it is ironic you use the eurovision in the opening post, because willies prize, while it is a remarkable achievment, will achieve virtully nothing.<br />
just like our euro vision entry.<br />
I would not be the least bit surprised if Shell had a hand in willie being awarded this prize in a attempt to split what is now the rossport four.<br />
Does anybody understand why willie got the prize and not the rossport five or even the shell to sea group.<br />
It dosent seem right, and smells of a setup.<br />
where can the campaing go from here, there is no protests, the peat is being removed faster than expected (over 50% already).<br />
so how can we stop it now?<br />
eh?
