Since late 2000 there has been an on-going attempt by multinationals and the Irish state to devastate a remote coastal area of county Mayo with a toxic refinery and a high pressure production gas pipeline. Since then there has been an ongoing struggle to keep Shell out of Mayo… www.struggle.ws/rsc

Great to see that Demo Club is reinventing itself into a number of new venues, and is still a vibrant project promoting such amazing good causes.


Members of the Rossport solidarity camp recently visited Nottingham's Sumac Centre as part of their UK speaking tour, with talks & films about the battle against Shell in Co.Mayo Ireland. ( https://www0.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/nottinghamshire/2009/01/420628.html).

The world's largest pipe laying ship, the Solitaire was due back in Ireland this Spring. Last year it had to abandon efforts to lay Shell's controversial raw gas pipeline after it was damaged in rough weather. For weeks the local community and supporters took direct action to stop the pipe-laying work both on land and at sea. This year even more people are needed to join the community struggle against Shell.
