There have been a series of activities in Limerick in solidarity with the people of Rossport

I just thought it was about time that I mentioned that Limerick has also seen people take to the streets recently campaigning in solidarity with those in Rossport.

Limerick Socialist Youth and Socialist Party have been campaigning around the issue of the dangerous pipeline being inforced on the community of Rossport.

Last Saturday, this tuesday and thursday and again tomorrow, members of Socialist Youth have distributed leaflets and collected petitions, demanding the Corrib Gas be refined at sea and arguing that Shell and their counterparts can't be trusted with the irish peoples natural resources.

Tommorrow, again, we will take to the streets of limerick city centre doing the same. We are also looking into a public meeting and pickets at Shell stations, unfortunately I don't know of any well placed ones to picket but im keeping my eyes open.

We will also be contacting people in the UL Envioronmental Socety for some co-operation on this. Also, we have sent people up to Rossport protesting.

If anyone on here is from Limerick and would like to help out in campaigning then contact me. Limerick could benifit with more people campaigning!

Thanks,
Cian
