Pat O’Donnell and Maura Harrington addressed a public meeting in Sligo on Thurday evening. They gave an inspiring presentation of a campaign that even after ten years of intense struggle could not be broken. The evening started with Pat showing some video-footage of last years struggle in Broadhaven Bay with the pipe-laying ship Solitaire. He then explained his own involvement in the Shell to Sea campaign and the developments that have happened to him in the attempt to protect his livelihood as a fisherman against the attacks of Shell. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Very good meeting. Not too many politicians or political parties represented though. Breezer was there, some guy from Sinn Fein in Ballymote and I was told after some fella from a new group in Sligo called eirigi.
Breezer was the only councillor as far as I know. None of the shinner councillors turned up for whatever reason.
It may now be starting to dawn on Shell & their goons, large & small, that they cannot defeat the people's opposition to their plans. Shell to Sea!

The Shell to Sea delegation that attended and took part in yesterdays march in Dublin got a very warm welcome from everybody, there were only words of encouragement, and support from the other protesters and that of the onlookers.
Times have changed considerably in a very short peroid of time, this time last year people had security now nobody has any security,thousands have lost their jobs unfortunately for them, and they do have my sympathy,no job can also lead to no home, and no family this is a terrible shame. However people are begining to wake up to the fact that the S2S campaign are not what they have been portrayed as, but they are fighting the cause for us all and in these harsh ecconomic times they smell the gas revenue. Shell and their Goons are taking notice, it is back firing on them did they really think they could get away with it.
