Shell To Sea Picket On The Finglas Road (26/04/08)

This afternoon, activists gathered at the Shell station on the Finglas road for a picket called by the Connolly Youth Movement. Comrades from many different political backgrounds joined us in our support of the Rossport people and opposition to the dangerous pipeline being built in Mayo without the consent of the local community.

The picket started around 12pm and lasted for an hour until 1pm. Around 15 activists attended the action in good spirits and leaflets were distributed to the local community and to cars that were stopped at the traffic lights.

This station has been picketed successfully for the past 6 months and we'll continue to keep the pressure on them in the following months to come. This station and others like it are being converted into Topaz stations but the petrol they use is still coming from Shell and so the actions against them are still needed. We would urge all activists and groups to continue picketing other Shell stations around the country and to keep up the fight.

The Struggle Continues!
