Sligo éirígí activist Gerry Casey has described as “shameful” the silence of the north-west’s TD’s and MEP’s over continuing human rights abuses being inflicted on those opposed to the giveaway of our natural resources to Shell in County Mayo. Sligo éirígí activist Gerry Casey has described as “shameful” the silence of the north-west’s TD’s and MEP’s over continuing human rights abuses being inflicted on those opposed to the giveaway of our natural resources to Shell in County Mayo. He also claimed that the police forces of this state have become enforcers for Shell law, abandoning their own laws and has challenged these local politicians to make public their stance on these abuses. |

Jump To Comment: 2 1"Has any of the MEP's in the north west taken a position on the Corrib issue?"
I'd say "yes" by the looks of things - and their position is to support Shell and our Government (to the hilt!!) regarding the unconstitutional "giveaway" of our oil and gas resources.
Note that Article 10 of Bunreacht na hEireann (Constitution of the Republic of Ireland) makes very clear mention of "royalties".
Where are these royalties?
How come our Constitution is being violated in such a massive way?
Why is it that all this outrageous Constitutional abuse is completely unstoppable apparently?
It looks as if the "corruption monster" has crossed some invisible line, taken on a life of its own, and is now so powerful and fearsome that it cannot be stopped by any means or anybody?
Instead of wasting time and money on a SECOND Lisbon Treaty Referendum, it seems to me we should be having an "Oil and Gas Reserves Nationalisation Referendum", keeping Article 6.1 of our EXTREMELY hard won Constitution in mind:
"All powers of government, legislative, executive and judicial, derive, under God, from the people, whose right it is to designate the rulers of the State and, in final appeal, to decide all questions of national policy, according to the requirements of the common good."
If only we could get back to basics?
Unfortunately, it looks as though it might already be too late for that now?
