At it's meeting on 12th July the Dublin Council of Trade Unions unanimously passed the following resolution:

"Council calls for the immediate release of the Mayo protestors against the Shell Pipeline. The running of a dangerous pipeline through lands at Rossport is part of the transfer of the Natural Gas Resource to a multi-national corporation, with little in return to the public purse in the form of royalties or tax. Council further calls for the development of Ireland's gas fields by a publicly owned industry for the benefit of the Irish people".

Las week the DCTU sent a message of solidarity to the five prisoners.
