Oil Tankers Turned Back Again A second successful blockade was held this morning outside the Shell Oil Terminal on Centre Park Rd. in Cork. A second successful blockade was held this morning outside the Shell Oil Terminal on Centre Park Rd. in Cork. The blockade was held in solidarity with the Rossport 5. About 20 people turned up at 7.30 am. This time Shell reacted aggressively, 'ordering' protestors away from their gates. However after being given short shrift by the blockade, the Gardaí were called. By this time the three gates into the Terminal were blocked. The Gardaí - a force of four! - consulted with Shell management and then desisted from attempting to force any of the tankers through. One theory suggests that Shell is running scared to the adverse publicity in the light of the growing boycott of their operations. In all nearly 10 tankers were prevented from entering. However one tanker did attempt to run a line of picketers with nearly tragic consequences. But this tanker also turned back. |

Jump To Comment: 1 2The jailing of 5 criminals from Mayo shows that Cromwell has failed to cure us of thee heathen poor. The jails are full and the hedges are fuller still and yet the poor continue to cause trouble.
Keep up the good work, lets make an example of these idiots. Our government have let us down, lets prove that we can make it happen without them.
