This evening, from 6 to 7.20 PM, 15 Shell to Sea activists picketed the Westside Shell Service Station and we were much heartened by the unstinting support and warmth of the passing motorists, joggers and pedestrians - except for one pathetic creature shouting; "Get a job" and "Hippies" (true).

Galway Shell to Sea were/are most appreciative of Sinn Fein and Socialist Party Young Turks who swelled and graced our ranks. read full story / add a comment

Today, in the High Court, before Justice Ms Mary Laffoy, Shell EP Ireland made its contemptible attempt to drop its legal action against the beleaguered Rossport landowners. Last year it was the big stick of State and Big Oil intimidation that sought to cow the legitimate concerns of the Erris community in the form of Cloverhill gaol, today, it was the rotting carrot, the Trojan Horse, that was the cynical ploy of read full story / add a comment

Peader De Bluit

Tá an teanga Gaelach mar chuid lárnach de shaol na tíre seo. Is teanga fíor-stairiúl í an Gaeilge. Sí an céad teanga scríofa an Eoraip, agus ó shin i leith tá mórán athruithe feicithe aici, cosúil leis na hathruithe a tháinig ar an tír féin. Ní hí an teanga céanna a labhair Cú Chulainn, ná fiú an teanga céanna a labhraíodh nuair a bhí na Gaill ag iarraidh a lámh láidir a chur i bhfeidhm anseo. In ainneoin sin áfach sí ár dteanga fós í agus tá se de dhualgas againne í a labhairt agus a bheith bródúil aisti.

You may not have noticed but last Friday the 22nd of September was international CarFree day.
In Ireland the Governemnts usual inaction was unsurprising and the streets of Dublin were logjammed with fume-spewing motor vehicles as always.
At 6.30pm that evening there was a bikeride through the city streets to celebrate self-propelled transport,the chance for a cleaner city and alternatives possible to break our dependence on oil. read full story / add a comment
