Protest in Navan

Dempesy Pumps For Shell

Navan supports Erris with large Garda presence.

To night in Navan Co. Meath over 50 people protested on the Dublin Road in support of Shell to Sea and the good people of Erris. The response from passing motorists was heart warming. All Sinn Fein county and town councilors took part in the protest. The protest was very peaceful.
We were joined by 10 uniformed Gardai and the Branch, they even made a video of the protest. Out side Mr Dempseys local office more Gardai keep watch.
More Gardai were in the centre of town. When asked why they were at the protest, a good humoured Garda said we were told you were going to block the road. We had no intension of blocking any road or causing any trouble. It is now very clear Mr Dempesy is using the Gardai for His and Shells own end. The Gardai did not want to be there standing embarrassed, I am sure they would prefer to be doing their real job. The large Garda presence was very helpful as it drew more attention to the protest, so thank you for that Mr Dempsey, but will you leave these Gardai in Navan now as we need them or are they off to Erris.
