the samba band

At midday today, while a samba band played below, a man who wished to be known as "G" climed the Irish embassy. This was in protest over the Irish governments collusioin with Shell's activities in North West Ireland where they are constructing a pipeline and refinery. Many campaigners claim this pipeline and refinery pose as serious environmental risk. While there have been widespread protests in Ireland itself many claim that the government of Ireland has given Shell suspiciously favourable business terms on the deal. "G" was arrested for on suspicion of criminal damage though there was no damage visible from ground level. For further details see the corporate watch website.

We thank you all our British friends who risk arrest time and time again on behalf of a remote community in the West of Ireland. You are a great encouragement to us.

We fight on and we shall win.

Maith thú 'G', molann muid thú as an deis iontach poiblíochta sin a thapú. This is about much more than the small community getting trampled on at the minute: it's about the sell-off of this island's resources and the greed of the corrupt corporate regime in Leinster House. It's Erris Today, but where next?

Brilliant work by G and our friends in London, our government need to be exposed for what they have done to our resources and how they order police to bludgeon with fist, baton and boot, citizens who are peacefully protesting in defence of their lives and communities. No law is applied by the police in Mayo, if one is deemed to be breaking a law, no due process take place, it is the "rule" of the truncheon. This violates our own Constitution and ECHR but that never bothered them before, Shame on the international stage, however is a powerful agent, many thanks to friends in London and hopefully Washington, Paris etc. Keep up the sterling work.
