Shell to Sea Galway welcomes Fianna Fail economic seminar

Big welcome for the economic exploiters

Roughly 15 Shell to Sea activists braved the blistering sunshine (bless them...) from 8am til 2pm today to welcome the Fianna Fail 'economics and business' seminar to town.

100s of flyers were given out, many positive chats were had, horned were beeped, Gardai were charmed and Fianna Fail Ministers, TDs and Councillors were left in no doubt as to the growing resistance to the government backed Corrib gas project.

At one stage, big Biffo (Cowen) was chanted down in front of RTE cameras as he attempted to get the glorious Salthill background into his photo shoot.

Interesting discussions were had with many parting FFers who stated that they had tried to 'raise he Corrib question' in the seminar but were greeted with dismissals by 'Chairman Cow' who said something along the lines of 'we need the gas'.

Of course we need the gas Brian, you fecking eijit. We need it to fuel our economy, to fund our health and social services and to benefit all the people. We don't however need to trample on the rights, health and safety of Irish citizens in the process or destroy a pristine natural environment. Nor do we need to give it away for next to nothing to Royal Dutch Shell or the Norwegian exchequer via Statoil.

The Shell to Sea rising continues...!!!!
