Dublin Shell to Sea

Four Dublin Shell to Sea campaigners have chained themselves to the stairwells inside Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources as an action in solidarity with Pat O’Donnell. A number Shell to Sea activists are currently occupying the offices of the Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources at 29-31 Adelaide Road, Dublin 2.

The four members of Shell to Sea are draped in chains and locked together in order to symbolise the ongoing imprisonment of Erris fisherman and prominent Mayo Shell to Sea campaigner Pat O’Donnell.

Part 1 -  Caoimhe Kerins, a spokesperson for Dublin Shell to Sea, hightlights the national focus of the Shell to Sea campaign and discuss the implications of the Corrib gas project for the people of Ireland, particularly in terms of the ‘great gas giveaway.’ Andy Story Storey, UCD lecturer and Chairperson of Afri, talked about Afri’s recent petition and call for a suspension of all work on the Corrib Gas project, pending an independent and comprehensive investigation of its safety, human rights, economic and environmental dimensions.

 Round up of events in Dublin and a personal view of the progress of the campaign

The Shell to Sea campaign are calling a national rally in support and solidarity with Pat O'Donnell , "the Chief" who is currently on day 8 of a seven month prison sentence. Pat was jailed last week for daring to stand up to Shell and the state in thier efforts to force through the Corrib Gas project against the wishes of the local community , not to mention the wholesale gifting of our natural resourses to a multinational with an absolutely atrocious enviromental and human rights record.

We encourage as many of our supporters to come along on Tues and let Shell know we will continue our campaign against the theft of our natural resources and the criminalisation of those who oppose this project.
Please spread the word and bring as many people as you can.
