Shell to sea

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shell_to_Sea

Just read the wiki page to get more info on the the topic and the details of why they are protesting...but i cant stop laughing its fn hilarous!!!!

All the pictures are of culchies attacking Gardai!!!

One caption under a picture says "A protester attempts to handcuff herself to a lorry removing peat from the refinery site at Bellinaboy, April 2007" lol!

I still can't stop laughing this is ridiculous!!!

I have to pitch this as a movie to a Hollywood director, it has everything, action like Die Hard, court drama like A Few Good Men, a hunger strike, political injustice and the IRA like In the Name of the Father, a government similar to the one in The Last King of Scotland, culchies like the ones in Deliverence and all with the comedic flavour of Father Ted to it...it would be the greatest movie of all time!!!


"Due to a loophole in Irish law, no planning permission was necessary for the pipeline."

"The Rossport Five"

"Werner Blau, a physics professor at Trinity College, Dublin, and part-time Rossport resident, told his neighbours that the pipeline intended for Rossport would not even comply with United States standards which were "pretty lax". In its rankings of countries' facilitation of oil and gas companies, the World Bank rates Ireland in its highest, "very favourable" category, along with Pakistan and Argentina. By comparison, Nigeria is rated average."

"It has often been claimed that the IRA or Sinn Féin have an element of control over the Shell to Sea campaign."

"Before this, members of the campaign were caricatured as tree-hugging hippies and "sub-intellectual" peasants."

"Ciarán Ó Murchú told a rally at Bellanaboy in October 2006 that Shell E&P Ireland tried to "buy his support" with an offer of €15,000 for a climbing wall in 2005."

"Around 150 locals and protesters blocked the entrance to the refinery site and began to recite the rosary."

"On June 5, five protestors chained themselves together outside the Bord na Móna facility in Srahmore near Bangor Erris where Shell have being dumping the peat removed from Bellinaboy."

"In August, Shell to Sea began training for marine protests in anticipation of the arrival of the Allseas pipe-laying ship Solitaire, the biggest of its kind in the world."

"a local Porturlin fisherman, Pat O'Donnell, laid 800 crab pots along the intended path of the Solitaire, and defended them from Shell survey boats which attempted to remove them"

"Shell to Sea spokeswoman Maura Harrington began a hunger strike to coincide with the arrival of the Solitaire"..."She ended her protest on September 19, after the ship left Ireland for repairs."

What was that phrase Father Jack had for them?







A shower of bstards.:D

probabley only a matter of time before british director and arch lefty ken loach makes a movie about the whole circus

In 160 years time we'll have worked up an anger about how our resources were given away dirt cheap by gombeens, to an Anglo-Dutch consortium owned by a Queen, who sold them back to us at a profit. And we'll pretend we were opposed to it all along.
