It would be good if the R5 book were also available online.
I would also reccmmend the final report from the Centre for Public Enquiry entitled 'The Great Corrib Gas Controversy'. Of all the copy
that has emerged over the years concerning Corrib, I believe that this publication is the clearest and most user friendly of them all.
It's all there in black and white, from the early capitulation to Marathon oil in the early 60's, through Burke and Ahearn's demolition of the
Keating terms between 1987 and 1992, and on to the imprisonment and ultimate release of the Rossport 5.
I can't say if the report can still be downloaded, so I suggest a visit to the C.P.I's webpage which I know is still around. It's worth getting
your hands on this report. Its contents are irrefutable and have never been challenged by any of the named miscreants and it's an
invaluable tool when dismantling the, admittedly poor, arguments of the Shell apologists we get on here, who, by the way, have
become very scarce of late. When you read it you'll see why Michael McDowell (who?) felt the need to appropriate classified Garda files
and use them to generate a bogus set of charges against Frank Connoly which ultimately led to Chuck Feeney pulling the plug.
Get this report if possible and use it as the basis for any letters/representations, etc. It brings the whole sorry saga of Ireland's
buttf****ing by the multinatiomals for 50 years up to date, and shows why what we're doing here in Errris is taking place just barely in the
nick of time.
The book is now two years old - is there any chance it can be made available freely as an online text? Given recent events in Mayo it's now more urgent than ever that the enormous amount of background information it contains shoule be disseminated as widely and easily as possible.
Our Story by the Rossport 5 is not available nationwide until January 4, when it will be launched in Dublin. The book was only printed on December 12 and we had to collect it from the printers in Turin. It was brought straight to Mayo, as our intention was to launch the book and make it available in Mayo first, then the rest of the country. Because distributors and wholesalers close for the late December/early January period, the earliest the book can be made available to them is once the festive season is over. That will be around January 2. In the meantime the book can be bought at the following outlets, which are the only places we managed to get the book into before December 25.

Congratulations to Small World Media for the immense achievement in getting the book thus far. It is not easy to get a book published in Ireland by a mainstream publisher. A small publisher has a limited mobilisation fee to make such a book happen at all. The book was printed in Turin and transported in a van by road from there to Castlebar. Its transport depended on ferries held up in fog. And the publishers travelling to Italy to get it. Maybe if sales are great the present print run can be extended. The interviews, and their transcription into a 200 page book, its design, print and general production and its arrival to the people who actually are the story took place in six months. What mainstream publisher would have undertaken such a task.! Thanks so much to all those independent bookshops who now are ready to market it and create the demand for more.
It's frustrating isn't it? All that media attention and people outside of Erris couldn't buy the book. It's worse when you think the campaign has been so dependent on small independent bookshops around the country, as places to disseminate information, hold leaflets and posters for us, sell tickets to fundraiisers, and collect money. Then, in the run up to Christmas they didn't get any copies of this book until yesterday.
It's almost as if some people would prefer if the campaign was a purely Mayo affair - but I'm sure that's just my imagination.
The book can now be bought in Dublin at Connolly Books (www.communistpartyofireland.ie/cbooks) and at the Sinn Fein Shop (www.sinnfeinbookshop.com). I've heard a few other independent booksellers will be stocking it too, so it's worth asking.
Eason won't stock it. As far as I know they've been asked and refused because they are worried about being sued. I could be completely misinformed on this, but that's what I've heard anyway.
The publisher is Small World Media, and there is an extract from the book here: http://www.bluegreenearth.us/archive/article/2006/rossp....html
If you want to get in touch with the publisher, the contact details are:

(Happy Christmas everyone, btw)
Whats the title of the book? Whats its content? Etc etc..
Who's the publisher? All such details are missing..
Can someone clarify if the book will be on sale at Easons etc. Many Thanks, Solidarity, L G
