Rossport protestors get nasty.....

Fozzie Bear

Heard on Galwaybay FM radio a gang of up to 15 balaclava wearing vandals broke into the Shell compound wielding iron bars and chains. They manged to start a digger at the site and used it to cause extensive damage to the compound. What exactly is this going to achieve? The compound will be built, its all over lads. Give it up. I hope they are caught and serve long jail terms.

Be ready for that crazy hag Maura Harrington and the usual shower of soap dodgers on 6-1 news this evening spouting sh1te.

Twats!!!


"IN A SEPARATE INCIDENT, WILLIE CORDUFF – ONE OF THE ROSSPORT FIVE – WHO WAS PROTESTING UNDER A TRUCK AT THE SHELL SITE – CLAIMS HE WAS REMOVED BY UP TO 6 MASKED MEN AT ABOUT 4 AM THIS MORNING, AND SUSTAINED INJURIES IN THE INCIDENT."

Of course you were Willie. What are the chances huh? The exact same night 15 masked lads break in and wreck the gaff, a seperate 6 masked lads were hanging about at 4am waiting to assault you.... Christ.

More twats

I reckon Willie lost his bottle during the incident, hid under the truck and had to get dragged out by his own buddies.

I hope they feel guilty about the damage caused to the eco-system when they revved up that digger and punched another hole in the ozone layer.

Wow, what a coincidence, masked men in the same place and the same time but the incident wasn't linked to the vandalism.

So there were 15 masked men for the vandalism and another 6 masked men at the truck?
Hmmmm

Unless of course the masked men were never protesters in the first place.
Who stands to lose most as a result of an incident like this?
Who stands to gain most?
A bit of very public damage to equipment and the protesters get the blame even if it can't be proven who did it.

Last I heard of her, she went on hunger strike.
In fact, I started a thread on it here in AH.
That was a while ago, probably sometime in 2008

Did she win?
Or was it all for show and media attention and she backed down?

Harrington was released after 28 days.

Didn't she release one of those celebrity fitness hunger-strike dvds and get paid to appear in ads for Weight Watchers?

Rossport is something of a joke at this point. Maura Harrington is a dedicated antagonistic cow. Someone should have hunger-struck her on behalf of the nation.

who couldn't failed to be inspired by the lyrics such as:

"Sodomize thru the night - who has killed the ****ing light
What the **** do you expect to see
When Jesus lying naked in front of me


Goat in pain - the satanic reign
Who has killed the ****ing light,
Who has killed the ****ing light, huh ?
You are all doomed to misery
So **** some goatcorpses in praise of me"

leitrim lad

another attention seeking mission from the rossport people and their continental european hippie friends,

what a bunch of wasters and all living compliments to the state,,

i belive from working on that project that word of mouth has lead me to belive that there is only one person in stable employment in that area, apart from the workers on the site,

and that one person works in the post office handing out the dole, socail, and pensions every week to the likes of maura harrington and associates.

another source told me that the main reason they were objecting to the whole gas line and base, was because they were afraid that they would be offered jobs there and loose their dole money,

You're seriously suggesting that Shell sabotaged their own site, to make some protesters look bad?

i am amazed at the hatred shown on this website to the rossport protestors.
Have Shell paid you to do this.
Shell is a very nasty organisation as was outlined in the Sunday Observer two weeks ago.
The comments made about the rossport people are the same type of comments that the Nazi's made against the jews around 1933.
The moderator of this website is not doing their job in allowing this racism to be aired.
If my home was endangered by a 60cm pipe line carrying the detritus of the bottom of the atlantic ocean at a pressure 150 times that of the atmosphere.......i too would be alarmed to say the least.
The only conclusion i can take from this is that the posters here are right wing fascists without a brain.
Has anyone questioned why the irish govt., and fianna fail in particular have co-operated with shell in raping our country of its natural resources.
How much money has changed hands to allow shell extract oil from the detritus on land when all internation practise is to this offshore.
As a former captain of an irish rugby team said 'use ur f**king brains' not ur d**ks.
So what a digger was started...it's not the end of the world, go and join the reactionary forces of the state in mayo....and lock these people up, more will take their place.
Thankfully Cowan got rid of Devins married to the judge who locked Harrington up.......as if they don't have enough money...two incomes one for being a member of the judiciary and and another as a junior minister whatever that is.
Shame on you all!

People don't like "alternatives" around here, it's not limited to Rossport. I don't know if it's because of fear or some sort of need to hate.

Of course, if a massive gas field was found beneath south Dublin tomorrow, you'd see quicker u-turns than Superman on acid.

I love the reasoned arguments by the Rossport protestor defenders. If you do not agree with the protestor's (thuggish and down right stupid at times) actions you are a psychopath and a right wing, fascist, racist. :rolleyes:

Maybe I'd say "ah well, maybe the price will go up by the time we're finished, so more money for us"

maybe I'd say "Guarda, please do your job & stop the illegal part of these activities"

maybe I'd say "this is a bit of a pain, but hardly unique in our line of business"

What I don't think I'd say, as head of an international multi-billion business is "let's hire a few goons to trash the place, hopefully it'll make the protesters look bad"

It seems to me that some of the antipathy towards the rossport issue should be directed towards our government who have given away our natural gas without us receiving a red cent in return for it.

leitrim lad

at around 4.50 matt cooper had the superintendent of mayo himself on the mobile comunicator and he stated,

it was early days yet ,they didnt know who broke into the compound

,but it was 15 masked men armed with chains and steel bars,

who were also military trained, and had expierence with heavy machinery ,

according to the super he also said they damaged the peoples and the companies right to work on the site with this ambush,

and then another fella came on after the super and said that the gardai were not worried about the man who was on his death bed in castlebar hospital, they hadnt even taken a statment from him and didnt want to either,

but the man on the death bed in hospital was able to give this other fella a full ackted run down on how he was beat and he used the hospital bed as a mock shell lorry
