Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Glad fore a chance to go and protest in Newbridge Kidare .there was nothing happening since Summer.
Hope the reistance is starting again .
Heard on the grapevine that shell are planning to shut down site indefinitely, probably to get public support by saying there's 800 people out of work because they can't get planning permission. Anyone hear anything on this?
Desperate times; desperate measures from a bunch of desperadoes!
There is a strong misinformation/disinformation machine being run by Shell here at the moment. This includes the rumours, in no particular order, that 800 (largely phantom) workers are going to be laid off the Ballinaboy site indefinately; that local people in Glengad are being offered €50,000 a year for 'duration of project', 3 years up front plus €20,000 bonus if they sign before 29th Jan 2010; that Shell personnel were in Glengad yesterday looking for their Christmas hampers back from Eamonn Sweeney and a few others etc. etc.
That said, the threat of layoffs, even phantom, will create the usual guff about 'job losses in hard times' and it also serves as a get out of a spin mess for Shell since they can now get rid of the few actually working on site at the moment and get some mileage out of it. If the offer of payments is true, it shows the same old stuff from Shell - trying to throw what for them is pence at a few people instead of addressing the real problem of environmental human rights at local level and, at national level, the giveaway of our natural resources.
Shell went 'shtum' from the issuance of the 02 Nov '09 Bord Pleanála letter to now; if the best they can still come up with is more beads and baubles and the threat of axing phantom jobs, then they are up Sruwaddacon without a paddle.
Thanks in advance to all who will be heading out tomorrow on leaflet drop. Give it bhascaí!
