A large crowd assembled at 6pm today to show solidarity for Maura Harrington and the Shell to Sea cause and outrage at the continuing situation in North West Mayo. A Shell to Sea activist was accosted and arrested for refusing to give his name by two special brnachers after the vigil as he was walking down the street. Intimidation of this kind is unfortunately to be expected as the state uses last nights bomb threat to increase the pressure on the S2S activists and supporters. The vigil continues today at 6pm and there will be a 24 hour fast and film screening beginning 6pm Friday should Mauras action be ongoing at that stage. read full story / add a comment

As Maura Harrington's hunger strike entered its second week today, a delegation of Shell to Sea kayakers travelled yet again to Killybegs, Co. Donegal, to establish contact with Shell's pipe-laying ship the Solitaire. The purpose of the mission was to make contact with the Solitaire's bridge, and to ascertain its intentions regarding its departure from Irish waters. However, the Shell to Sea delegation did not expect the Solitaire to run away from them, which is what it did, thereby refusing all contact with Shell to Sea. Maura Harrington's hunger strike will end when the Solitaire leaves Irish territorial waters, or else she will die. read full story / add a comment

Maura Harrington's hunger strike against the continuing presence of the pipe-laying ship the Solitaire in Irish waters continued into its seventh day today. In honour of her retirement today on, a special celebration was held in the primary school in Inver, where she had worked as a schoolteacher for over 30 years and as a principal for nearly 10. The protective vigil around her continues tonight, as she continues her hunger strike outside the gates of Shell's Glengad compound. As news of solidarity actions around Ireland and Europe reaches Erris, the community have taken heart from this support and are ever-more resolved to defend their beleaguered community. Also included in this posting are a selection of photos illustrating what may be about to be lost should Shell and the state get their corrupt violent way. I composed it in response to a statement made by Maura in her letter to the captain of the Solitaire. read full story / add a comment
