Shell to Sea Press Statement, November 13![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Shell to Sea is calling for a ‘Solidarity Day’ in Bellanaboy on November 24th The Shell to Sea campaign condemns the ongoing co-ordinated campaign to de-legitimise and criminalise local opposition to Shell’s project in Mayo. On last Friday, Gardai employed excessive violence against peaceful deminstrators causing scores of injuries and a number of hospitalisations. Government Ministers and the leader of Fine Gael have deliberately sought to create the impression that the campaign is orchestrated by sinister ‘outside’ forces. Sections of the media continue to propagate false and outrageous accusations. All of this is designed to distract from the real issues. On November 6th we proposed a reasonable and viable means by which the Corrib gas conflict could be resolved. This proposal was rejected within hours by the Government and Shell. We deplore this failure to grasp a real opportunity. |
