This is disgraceful, absolutely disgraceful. Shame on Shell; shame on the Gardaí, shame on the government.
Best of luck with the protesting.
Mark.
If you can't get to Erris, make some noise to the Government, Parks and Wildlife, and the silent Green Party. Remind them what 'Republic' is supposed to mean. This whole thing stinks of Gov't corruption at all levels.
I bet this will not hit the 9 o'clock news or the national media. The general press silence is deafening and very worrying in a supposed democracy like ours!
The situation outlined in this article has just prompted me to "Google" the words "State Tyranny".
At the present time the first page (at least) of the Google list contains no mention at all of the goings-on in Mayo (see at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=State+Tyranny&btnG...earch ).
It should do though (in my view), and hopefully it will before too much longer.
For what appears to me to be a really interesting example of the "kettle calling the pot black" (in connection with state tyranny), the "Outposts of tyranny" article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outposts_of_tyranny is also worth a quick look.

When I saw the latest pictures on our public beach, words fail me. All Green Party supporters and like minded people should not take matters in their own hands and stage a National Rally in Dublin calling for Eamon Ryan to resign. This donkey has proved that he is no more than a Fianna Fail puppet. Shame on the Government, we are the unfortunates to live in a country run by complete brainless donkeys. Irelands future is at stake, what is happening in Mayo today could happen anywhere in the country tomorrow.
The subject of "State Tyranny", and its well established and strong links with Erris (County Mayo) is now being listed by Google -- which hopefully might do some good, by way of showing the world that "state tyranny" is not by any means restricted to places like Zimbabwe: as many connected with the mainstream/establishment media would have us all believe.
At the time of writing, a recent Indymedia (Ireland) article on the tyrannous "Erris" subject is the 2nd item on Page 1 of the Google list at http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=State+Tyranny%2C+E...earch
Cromwell said to hell or to Connaught but now hell has arrived in Connaught with the disgraceful behaviour of the free state police forcing locals from their own beach.
The fencing on the beach is only temporary works and will be gone within weeks...
The fencing put up on Glengad beach is supposed to be temporary, but the impacts will last much longer than a few weeks. Rocks jutting out of the sand, close to shore and away from the proposed pipeline route, have been obliterated by Shell's excavators and used as footings for the second incomplete section of "temporary" fence.
The first fence is proving much more temporary than planned, as it is falling back into the sea after only a few hours. Welds are failing, concrete bases are chipping and cracking right through, concrete supports are sinking into the sand, and the whole sorry mess is in disarray after just two days of calm weather and gentle seas.
The rocks that have been smashed had been acting as natural wave-breakers, absorbing the tidal energy and helping to reduce coastal erosion at Glengad. Now the disturbed and weakened cliff-face will be fully exposed to the rigours of the Atlantic Ocean often quoted by Shell.
Ancient protective rocks, destroyed forever for a "temporary" fence...
