Saturday September 26, 2009 17:27 by Ray - Cork Shell to Sea
P23 - she shoots for Shell too you know! Cork Shell to Sea activists paid a visit to the Irish Naval Service's ship the LÉ Aisling yesterday evening so that Shell's Navy is remembered for its role in the Great Oil and Gas Robbery. The Irish Naval service ship LÉ Aisling had participated in Shell's occupation and despoliation of Glengad and Broadhaven Bay, providing armed floating security to the multinational corporation that is making off with Ireland's economic future and civic society. At 5p.m. Yesterday, Cork Shell to Sea sent a team by both land and water to protest their presence in the city during what was billed as the city's 'Culture Night'. A dinghy rowed up to alongside the Shell Navy ship, which caused some consternation on board the Aisling for a short time.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7Interesting to note the status differences on board ship too - the officers' mess is quite plush, and the captain's and other senior officers' accomodation take over a considerable percentage of the below-decks space. Meanwhile, the ratings' space is quite cramped. I guess it's not inhumane though. The Aisling is also an old ship, almost 30 years on the go, if I heard the guide correctly.
Another photo-opportunist!

The letter sent by registered post is identical in text to the letter shown here. A similar letter was given to the commodore's representative by Cork Shell to Sea at a protest last year.
Given the action of the Navy on behalf of Shell and their lackeys in government there must be a worry about similiar miss use of the state security apparatas in the near future given the increasing likelyhood of civil unrest as the countries economic situation continues to deteriate
Fair play lads! Is the S2S website down?
See yez soon! Solidarity from UK supporters.
The military receive their orders from the Government via the Minister. Handing a letter to a Navy person of any rank, no matter how senior or junior they are within that organisation, is futile at best. These people are following legal orders from the Government when they are sent to Mayo. It is your right to free speach and peaceful protest, and since you believe you have a legitimate concern about Shell, why not take it up with the people who give the orders not the people who follow. Let the military get on with their many other taskings they have been given from the Government and the Irish people.
Such as all being dead by breakfasttime if we were ever invaded.
