news report
Friday July 28, 2006 17:26 by Donegal Shell to Sea - S2S
Donegal will resist!!!! Over 150 concerned citizens from across the Northwest gathered in Jacksons’s Hotel last Thursday July 20th to participate in a public talk on Shell Oil, The Rossport 5 campaign and the Government’s plans to sell off oil and gas exploration rights off the Donegal coast, potentially worth billions of euros. The event was organised by a group of non-aligned, concerned Donegal citizens who wanted to show their solidarity with the people of Rossport and to increase awareness about the Government’s current plans to grant gas and oil exploration licences to multi-nationals. Five companies have submitted bids for sections of the Donegal-Slyne- Erris basins, which according to the Petroleum Affairs Division (Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources) contains a potential 10 billion barrels of hydrocarbons (Gas/Oil). |

Well Dempsey's friend proved no friend of the majority of people in Erris. Having read the report and the list of people/groups who were consulted it was obvious that the whole thing was set-up to stem the growing support nation-wide for the SHelltoSea campaing. Apart form the Rossport 5 90% of the remaing individuals and groups who Cassels deceided to meet were recognised Shell apologists. This of course was a delberate ploy by the government on behalf of Shell to spread the lie that Shell was being supported by most locals. Many of these groups/indviduals who are tiny in number are eithier directly or indirectly in the pay of Shell. The whole thing was a PR stunt from begining to end what the clincher being the fact that the Dempsey's Dept delibratly leaked the report last night toi RTE before its official unveiling this morning.
