OscailtShell due to start work next weekThings are getting very busy here - after a peaceful June Gathering the camp is once more set to become a focal point for resisting Shell pipeline work. Shell are due in the estuary any day now to drill 80 boreholes - pipeline survey work that should take all summer. Yesterday we shut down the Shell office in Belmullet. Today Maura Harrington was jailed for non payment of fines. Niall and Pat are still in jail. Generally it seems that lots of people are wising up to the oil industry in the wake of the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico....

Foreshore License Granted - Borehole Drilling Imminent<br />
Yesterday Shell circulated a letter giving notice that the borehole drilling would commence "in the coming days".<br />
Recently Shell got the sign-off from “Green” Minister John Gormley on plans to bore 80 bore-holes in Sruwaddacon bay. Once again the community and camp will be opposing the Shell work both on land and at sea. Water-action training is ongoing. It will be a summer long job if they get started, so support up here would be great whenever possible. Now would be a good time to come.<br />

Rossport Solidarity Camp Wishlist<br />
You might have something lying around that you don't want or need anymore.<br />
At the moment we could use:<br />
<br />
* Wheelie bins, plastic barrels, pallets (will probably find locally)<br />
* Working Rechargeable Power tools<br />
* Boats and outboard motors of any size or make: Power boats, sail boats, rigid sea kayaks would be especially useful as they can't be punctured or sunk too easily<br />
* Bandsaw<br />
* PV panels, inverters, batteries<br />
* Trailer that a Ford Transit could tow. Something like a horse trailer and fairly weather proof would be ideal to transport bikes.
