“Shell has decades of experience in compulsory acquiring lands against people’s wishes and we will endeavour to bring the same high standards to Erris” –'Shell' executive in mock ceremony Local residents gathered at the Shell office in Belmullet early Monday morning to serve a Compulsory Acquisition Order (CAO) on Shell’s property and to prevent Shell workers from entering the building. Campaigners got creative as they staged the mock ‘acquisition’ on Shell’s front doorstep. A ‘compound’ was established with construction barricades and traffic cones, and one person dressed up as a Shell executive served the acquisition order for the area. Campaigners dressed up as Shell workers attempted to lay a pipeline, and there were even a few private security mercenaries there to guard against protesters. However in the end the protesters broke into the ‘compound’ and ran away with the pipeline, much to Shell’s dismay! (Video footage to follow). |

Shell to Sea Issues Compulsory Acquisition Order on Shell Office
Very enjoyable!
Great to see such spirit after ten years of Shell hell.
Long may you continue.
What an incredible way to show $hell what Mondays are for, the people, just keep on being creative; telling the the tale of what's going on in ERRIS. Barclay's Bank of England own 54.2 Million shares of Royal Dutch$hell, They own the majority of shares, so they control the process of how it will be built, and the Irish gov has little say , or so they THINK . Will ABP stand up for their people and save the future of Ireland ?
OR Is that why the Queen is finally coming to Ireland, Mayo after 800 yrs, to see whats the hold up, lets do some maths; 54.2 million shares at 26pence sterling =14,920,000 x 4qtly = 59,680,000 million,just in share prices profit every year. Since 2000 x 10 years 596.8 million profit.so far
Thats just the Banks quarterly profit x 4, lets go one step further 54 million a day and when you have controlling interest of most shares(54.2 ) = 26-28 million a day profit. And the Irish Government are looking for ways to cut back on spending so they can fly first class to England. will Ireland ever get out of the dark ages with Fina Fall, or are they truly going to sell out the Irish peoples right as a free state and give our Natural Resources to ENGLAND After all the god dam suffering for Centuries that they have bestowed on the Irish Nation, They want our oil and gas too
Pathetic and all as it is Eamonn, James Connolly accurately predicted this sorry outcome to the 26 county capitalist fiasco.
