I
A field of gas discovered at sea
At the latter part of the 20th century
But still only in its infancy
A minister Ray Burke, in his wisdom NOT
Said to Shell “you could have the lot”
With great shouts of glee
They said “we’ll take it from the sea”
And clean it at a Bellinaboy refinery
II
Now work began and the sod was turned
Wagons rolled out laden with peat
Roads were narrow after years of neglect
No money spent but what the heck
They’ll be good enough to take the bog
Cos’we’ll treat the locals like a dog
But drains were deep and drivers anew
In to the sides went a few
III
Monies was spent and the roads seemed good
Something we haven’t seen much in this ’hood
Mayo Co. Council please take note
The people down here still have a vote
Locals spoke in notes of disdain
About the route of the proposed gas main
But Shell didn’t pay much heed
And forged ahead out of sheer greed
IV
An obstruction was meet in the shape of five men
When the pipes were about to go in
Court orders were issued and after proceedings
The laws of this land seemed to be receding
Five innocent men who stood up for their rights
Are now in cells as they say their goodnights
But their plight is now getting widespread
And thanks to the media it’s coming to a head.
V
Now my poetry skills aren’t very endearing
Shakespeare, Yeats or Kavanagh won’t be fearing
But justice has to be done
And free those men in Cloverhill
But let us ask Shell, if they wouldn’t abhor
A great big gas main outside their front door
In finishing I will say on a high
Hooray, Hooray for the Rossport Five.
I really wish I could be in Castlebar with you all today, and I'm sure that many people all over the country feel the same way. To those people, keep e-mailing/writing to your local representatives, lodge your complaint to Minister Dempsey, contact your local media and don't forget to write to the 5 men at Cloverhill Prison, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. This scandal cannot be allowed to continue! Solidarność!
