Shell & Gardaí powerless against community action Yesterday morning forty people from around Sruwaddacon Estuary brought Shell’s survey work in the area to a complete standstill. The community walked out onto the mudflats at low tide to assert their cockle-picking rights and disrupt Shell’s borehole drilling survey. At about midday about 8 people from the group walked down to the other jack-up barge and enjoyed similar success. Commenting on the scarcity of cockles found on the walk, one local said: “They have probably been scared by the noise from the drilling and must have buried themselves deeper down”. |

In order to bolster their feeble attempts at justifying their ludicrous tunnel proposal at the Oral Hearing in Belmullet, Shelltours

Belmullet Town where Shell lie down,
Tallagh for its pride,
Broadhaven Bay where we dig all day
And Bangor for the ride
