Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8A movement for a 32 county Ireland that does little outside of Belfast........................and then they wonder why Vinny Wood got hammered in Mayo the last time out
A Movement to see how high they can climb on the misery of others. The Rossport 5 today - the 1981 hurger strikers yesterday. All for the Queens shilling.
Sell out all for a paycheck.
What's the point of protesting outside Belfast City Hall? It'd be more effective if there was a protest organised against Shell itself.

I agree, might also help if they were protesting against the government in the Republic of Ireland in the Republic of Ireland.
it was Ogra shinn fein that started the petrol station pickets in the first place. so instead of making comments on the net about people who are actually out doing the work , why dont you get behind them
Great to see solidarity actions taking place throughout the country. This type of solidarity action should be implemented wherever there is evidence of the interests of corporate profit being placed before the interests of people and communities (of which there is plenty) ie Indaver, Shell, Statoil, Raytheon, the current war against the Iraqi people etc etc. It is essentially the same struggle. The campaign has to be understood from a global perspective and not merely an issue of local or national interest and should be expanded on that basis.
Well done Ogra. Keep up the good work.
Damien, a chara, I'm from Belfast and have been involved in protests against Shell stations with members of Ógra Shinn Féin. I still feel that my question is a relevant one, as there are plenty of Shell garages in Belfast that they could have picketed.
Still, I suppose for propaganda purposes the protest outside the City Hall could been very good in terms of making people aware of what's going on down in Mayo (and now maybe in Donegal too).
