press release
Tuesday July 26, 2005 16:38 by caf
Rabbitte claims that since Shell have agreed to cease all operations on the pipeline. There is no ongoing work for anyone to object to and no work that can be interfered with by objectors. Therefore there is no ongoing need for the injunction and no need to keep anyone in jail On today’s Morning Ireland, the managing director of Shell E&P Ireland Andy Pyle denied that it was within his company’s gift to secure the release of the five men in jail for contempt of court. |

The national media are colluding. I ask anyone who doubts this to ask themselves why they don't publish and explain this photograph of illegal pipeline construction. It is worth a 1000 words (at least).

All the media are doing with honourable local to mayo (and perhaps examiner to an extent) exceptions is helping this collusion by giving ongoing space to shell, judge and dempsey, tiny bits of space to the men. They are NOT involving themselves in trying to investigate or explain in detail what is actually going on. This is their version of objectivity. Quote the Bigs without subjecting their utterances to their consistency with objective reality and smear and silence the Smalls.
Shame on them.
That picture surely does starkly point it all out.
You might need to send a copy of that letter to Pyle again. According to Shell today, it is still not an option for them to waive the injunction. What cowards!!! Sure, it would be seen as a major victory to those of us in Mayo but in reality what would it cost Shell now? They have now even stopped work on the offshore pipe and this stoppage is supposed to be for a year. How can they possibly need the injunction in place now?
Prime Time last night made up a bit for the way R.T.E. have treated this project. They have not asked the difficult questions but placed themselves as facilitators for Shell to have their say and make THEIR misinformation seem as fact and truth. At last Pyle and Dempsey were squirming. They came off so badly, unlike Mark Garavan.
We need to keep pressure on our politicans and councillers to get them to put pressure of Shell/Statoil/Marathon to lift or waive the injunction. The Rossport 5 are wanted at home.
Shell, Glan Amuigh nó Glan Amach.
