10 October, 2006 Sinn Féin Natural Resources spokesperson Martin Ferris TD has called on people to support solidarity protests against Shell facilities across Ireland in the wake of further clashes and reports of assaults by Gardaí on protestors at the Bellanaboy site. In a strongly worded statement, Deputy Ferris accused Shell of reliance on ‘dodgy polling, brute force and scab labour’ as proof of how isolated their position is and said the company is prepared to ‘lie, cheat and intimidate’ to get its way. The Kerry North TD said: “The proof that Shell is running scared is laid out in today’s Irish Examiner where the company makes the laughable claim that 70% of people back their proposals. The reality is that the biased nature of this polling was exposed some weeks ago when people went public about the way pollsters treated them when they said they supported the Rossport campaign. It also comes a week after a TG4 poll, with a much bigger sample, found 60% support for the campaign. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2Today's Shell Poll as spelt out by the Irish Examiner is full of the most absolute anomalies, so much so that I intend to get my students to attempt to analyse it in tomorrow's lecture. Did the editor understand the findings? Who did?
ferris accusing anybody of brute force is a laugh a minute..hardehar
also the tg4 poll showed overall support for shell at 84%, i wish people would quote accurately and not bullshit so much
maybe ferris can ship a few armalites through to the protesters
