Fundraising drive for Dublin Shell to Sea

dublins2s — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 13:16:57 +0000

Dear friends,
As you will have noticed its been a frantic week for Dublin Shell to Sea, particularly in terms of media work. On Tuesday alone Caoimhe our media spokesperson did over 25 seperate interviews. Between phone bills, a room for the press conference, legal advice and other costs we heavily depleted our funds at what is a key moment in the campaign. So we are appealing to our friends to make a donation, however small or big to enable us to continue our work and replenish our reserves. As you probably know all of us who put work into the campaign do so on an unpaid volunteer basis, make a donation and help us continue to take on the army of well paid PR professionals on the other side!

Human rights abuses

dublins2s — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 17:19:51 +0000

The jailing of the Rossport Five in 2005 for refusing to obey a court order sought by Shell E&P (Ireland) Ltd. thrust the Corrib Gas dispute into the international spotlight, and led to a campaign of mass civil disobedience by the local community. This campaign, supported by Shell to Sea groups from all around Ireland, shut down all works in Rossport and on the refinery site for more than a year, while Shell and the other oil companies in the consortium refused to consider residents’ demands for a redesign of the project.

Health, safety and the environment

Much of the coverage of the Corrib Gas Protest in Mayo has focused on the contentious protest and policing. But what motivated the protest in the first place? Many of the local people at first welcomed the announcement that gas had been discovered, with the promises of jobs and investment locally. However, a few who looked more closely at the proposed project made alarming discoveries.

The Great Oil and Gas Giveaway

dublins2s — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:52:58 +0000

The gas in the controversial Corrib field was valued at €8 billion by Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources Eamon Ryan in 2008.

Background to the Controversy

dublins2s — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 16:32:51 +0000

When news of the Corrib gas field first emerged, many Erris residents who are today critical of the project were excited by the prospect of local jobs. However, concerns about the location of the refinery and the safety of the raw gas pipeline soon emerged.¹
