A group of about 30-40 people waded into the sea to gain access to the causeway, and proceeded to remove a large amount of the stone which makes it up. They were confronted by a 70 Shell security after about half an hour of the action, at which point the people left. An upbeat and playful mood prevailed over a beautiful evening.

The Rossport Solidarity Camp has again taken up residence in Glengad, and this last weekend held a gathering in which at least 200 people from around Ireland and further a field attended and included a mass action against shell. The resistance to shell will increase over the coming weeks and months.
