Shell to Sea Mass Tresspass in Rossport

[JVbin]

You know what would be nice now Labour Youth? Now that Pat Rabbitte is the Minister for Energy, he could I dunno... Have some sense and STOP carrying on Fianna Fáil's policy with Corrib Gas? At least Eamon Ryan for all his faults, recognised there was a problem. Rabbitte seems completely oblivious that there's any problem at all. So why don't you hold him to account on this when your Election Manifesto said Labour would review the oil & gas regime?

[martinbyrne68]

The Garda college in templemore process their recuits through several different tests iq and personality tests to see if they can be easlly manipulated (the recruits are never made aware of the reasoning for these tests)and as a result very few independently minded people get through the system. They need people that follow order witout question, people who ask questions are not garda material. These garda are breaking the law that their supposed to be upholdlng with assaults and trespass.

[odoc100]

what the fuck did you achieve by doing that? peaceful protest does not work

[cpl60dillon]

all these vids are the same, krusties from everywhere but mayo looking for a fight with the guards. theres very little mention of the cause locals are fighting for. i feel for the locals because of blow ins coming in with their own agenda

[uarecheap]

People who support the Gaurds actions at Shell are traitors. Simple.

[shanieboy02]

Now dont get abusive to me. But this looks like the cops actually handled something well for once. why were everyone so jubilant... the cops played them. If this was the UK there would have been a riot

[shanieboy02]

Now dont get abusive to me. But this looks like the cops actually handleded something well for once. why were everyone so jubilant... the cops played them. If theis was the UK there would have been a riot

[legions14032]

and you the fat ugly fucking fella doing all the shit talking. you need to get a fucking life and a hair cut you hippie scum. your all fucking retards.

[legions14032]

all these protesters need to get jobs and work. there the reason this country is the way it is. 1000 people on the dole protesting about a project that creates jobs. hope you all know how to make soup out of rocks and grass. fucking apes

[weareundercontrol]

Never in history has this form of raw gas been piped across land (not to mention such a populated piece of land) its a crime. flat out CRIME.

[gaggotgaggot]

thesame old treehugging social welfare sucking cunts protesting again. the whole lot should be killed on the spot. fucking wasters

[claymoreman90]

Wasnt that guy in the muppit show?

[Morzo77]

The music at the end was bloody awful!

[MsPickaxe]

yes you need to make a miracle happen. watch that sun spin over the site.smoke a spliff .. start see things in the sky.. then your on the way to getting it sorted.

[MsPickaxe]

the gas sold off for next to nothing. no your wrong there..did you not know about the big brown : envelopes that the goverment got..shell is like the black and tans.. there here to take what we own.. fight them with all we have..throw nails on the road.. set up tents/ stalls. make it a Festival down there. get bands to play.try draw crowds.. make it a place like knock shrine.. wonder if a moving Statue happened.. that sort shell out.. you cant fight god.. the place be packed it all be over then.

[legions14032]

@MsPickaxe what a fucking hippie retard. thats your answer get a fucking festival going. back to your tepee. your fucking parents should be shot for bringing you into the world. actually worse they should be gang raped and your dad should have a wine bottle shoved up his arse

[radiobeefan]

What the fuck was the point of all that? I mean really, you managed to get a thousand protesters into the compound and then left like the compliant sheep that you are. Cheering like you achieved something. What was wrong? Were you worried you might get arrested? That you would have to go to court? Get a fine? Be an inconvenience to the Guards? Afraid you wouldn't be home to see Fair City. Pointless Goons.

[MrKf1984]

fucking idiots. by them asking ye to leave the way ye came in they knew well ye'd want to go out the gate. predictable fuking hippies. and ye won nothin. absolutely nothin.

[legions14032]

@MrKf1984 hahahaha love it man. you got a bit of sense. fucking stupid hippies got played by the guards. should of put that all over the news.

[vinnothelizard]

he is smoking very well and and asshole

[Dave22785]

wait, what da fuck did that accomplish???? ye got in but ye left without doing anything! seriously i dont get it, so ye went in garda asked ye to leave an ye did. what can that possibly achieve?????? it wud have made more of an impact if u pranked called shell an be like u guys are gay an hang up. the government doesnt give a shit what ye tink, why the hell do ye think they let shell do it in the first place? im proud to b irish but if this is our pathetic way of protest tings wil never change

[bold1970]

keep voting for ff mayo! need i say anymore you bunch of wankers

[SOMESAYBUNS]

Voiceoffear: You are an idiot. The Gardai cant arrest you if your bearing a tri-colour?!! Nonsense. Here's a tip: Stop promoting your cause by badmouthing the Gardai who are obliged to be there and Using this to promote your cause.

[IrishLooLaa]

U shelltohell r the greatest shower of fucking retards in the country - Did u go to court to fight ur battle YES did U loose and were laughed at YES -

Therefore what u do is against the LAW thats why Police are involved cos ur acts are ILLEGAL - If u had won ur case and shell were acting against the Law who's the first people u wud be ringing u great unwashed uneducated retards.POLICE

So go get a fucking life and stop all this 1sided bullshit propaganda ur spreading

[bold1970]

just keep voting for the flynns!!!

[legions14032]

@bold1970 fuck the flynns

[mrtyuil]

furthermore, how hypocrticical are ye? this video begins with a man condemning the garda presence as 'corporate policing' and a few minutes in the text complains about the guards not arriving until an hour into ye're 'trespass'. then one the the 'spokesmen' announces that they went in the back gate but the video proudly boasts that ye insisted on going out the front gate. simply to be disagreeable with the guards. do ye realise how stupid this video makes ye look??

[mrtyuil]

when the guards get reports of people standing or lying in the middle of the road that have to go out and 'police' the situation. also, when such a large crowd gathers in one area there is a threat of a riot or violent disorder and they have to do the same. they arent doing it because they have any strong opinion on the matter.

[dannygproductions]

PURE SCUM sorry but how do you EVER expect anyone to listen to you if you are braking the law ? hahaha and i think shell is there because of a little thing called business, ever heard of that before ?????!!!

[cavalierroyale]

FUCKIN TREEHUGGERS!

[TheTollundWoman]

Its not just about environmentalism/ "tree hugging." Its about the resources and land of Ireland belonging to the people of Ireland, and not to a foreign multinational corporation like Shell.

Shell's worst crimes are not against the environment but against the people who inhabit it. In Nigeria the oil industry is destroying people's lives and livelihoods, while at the same time getting rich off natural resources that rightfully belong to the people. Ireland *must* avoid a similar situation

[legions14032]

@TheTollundWoman so would you rather be able to drive to fucking see your sick family member or fly to a nice country to spend the time with your pathetic spouse or leave all that oil over in fucking nigeria. the stupid fucking black apes dont even know what to do with it. next time you look around you and see all that lovely stuff you own remember it all comes from oil all the money for your shit and school for your stupid kids. its all nigger oil. best go kill yourself your hurting the blacks

[buddypennylucky85]

Dermot Heaney, if ur gonna talk about something at least know wat ur talkin about!!! Its a gas line....not an oil line!!!

[justaskus]

The Irish Police look like the S.S.

[paudge68]

How come none of the shell to sea "demonstrators" are standing for local elections?

[Gyrobikes]

Labour have just lost my vote

[pdfwebpublishing]

It's good to sea Labour active on this. I didn't realise they had taken a stance. Hopefully Labour will never consider coalition with FF again and that we will see a new government next Dail session which will stop FF's sabotage of public finances and national resources.

[podgeus]

Smelly Hippy fucks! Heard the IRA for some reason is protesting too so we have Smelly Hippies and Terrorist Scum!

[unitedenfree]

bomb the whole place at night

[t3chn1kal19]

all de drums der like the drum circle hippies from south park!

[ballahane]

what they need up there is the army and sort all them protesters out. assholes all of them. half them are not even irish. some of them are smelly hippies

[VeLvEtGuNs]

fuckin spastics they even opened the gate 4 yee

[legions14032]

@VeLvEtGuNs ahhhhhh i love it

[matthewflick]

Congratulations you managed to walk through a construction sight while being escorted by Gardai. Did it not occur to you that the Gardai present handled the situation quite well, they took stock of the crowd and decided to act in a manner that resulted in the best possible outcome for all involved ie no confrontation, violence or arrests. You say you stood up to the Gardai by walking out the "front" gate, I saythe Gardai acted and treated the crowd in a very reserved and professional manner

[GalwayEagle09]

The planning process was legit. The sale of the gas was legit despite what you may think. However, you have a right to protest but you do not have a right to break the law no matter how pissed off you may be with the Gardai /Govt.  I have looked at a few of these videos on YouTube and with each viewing I get more and more sickened by the attitude and actions of some protesters who hid their faces with scarfs etc. What have they to hide? If this is a peaceful protest, then be open about it

[shaniiiiireland2008]

the police should not be let get away with this shit there apes every one of the they bet people because theywudnt get out of a bloody road us the irish people should protest against this

[dermotheaney]

Please tell whats funny about that cos i really didnt think the dancing protesters and the men locked up in prision on christmas day was funny. I'm ashamed that you are irish. ive never said that to anyone before in my whole life.

[notsobigsmoke]

If you really want to protest and win, without confronting the shell garda force...Just STOP buying your petrol and diesel or anything else at STATOIL garages. There are plenty of other outlets , you/we dont need to frequent these garages, But have you the Balls

[foxbottoms]

This is actually very funny. If you forget that these people are actually serious its almost like watching people taking the piss out of protesting i mean the dancing in the road, the hugging, its hilarious! And then you remember that they're serious and its even funnier! funnier because outside rossport nobody actually cares! i actually hope shell wins because i would rather see shell win than see these absolute nobodies happy! I hope it ruins your lives you filthy moaning losers!

[dynamoshels]

I'll second the above

[dermotheaney]

Whats funny abt giving away our most valuable oil well since the founding of the state. i say 'giving away' fox bottoms cos we got about 800k for it because the minister at the time was being bought out by shell with a back hander. Do you think its funny our country could be dug out of this recession slowly if this oil well was given back. Even if you dont care there is a tiny bit of hope the EU will strike out this purchase and give it back to the irish people it belongs to...us.

[legions14032]

@dermotheaney its gas well you fucking retard.

[dermotheaney]

@legions14032 Its 'a' gas well i think you are trying to say... you even bigger f**king retard!

[anthonyhig]

go home rossport protesters .the rest of the county are not behind you.fuck sake do you relaize how many jobs this will bring .only support you got is from hippys and tree huggers.

[squire32]

The Gardai should be in full riot gear and put those protesters to sea!!

[xxfm12xx]

Come on the Gardai!!!

[ebonywire]

Fucken slimey Ray Burke and dirty Fuck Charles rot in Hell Haughey are responsible for selling off Irelands interests to pay for their lavish lifestyles, prostitutes, and viagra!

[shitzzo85]

anybody wanna go and cause murder down there and take it back????? lets organise it!

[Finnbar01]

These protesters need to get a lofe and a job. All a bunch of left-wing luddites. No wonder the west is so backwards!

[shotkilleddead]

The west is backwards? at least here in the west we know that the government, in that rat-hole otherwise known as dublin, have allowed multinational corporations(and other nations) to literally rob OUR natural reserves. To take them TAX FREE and all Irish taxpayers,west,east,south, ARE PAYING FOR IT.YOUR PAYING FOR IT. SO WHO'S MORE BACKWARD NOW.? our own government sold us down the river to line their own pockets AND ARE LAUGHING AT THOSE THAT SAY NOTHING AND DO NOTHING.

[Finnbar01]

Really? Why is it then that the same government gets voted in each and every time? We get the governement we voted for. You can be sure the at the next elections the same people in power now will be voted back in. By the way where is that doctor politician... oh yeah..I forgot he got voted out.....

[shotkilleddead]

ahh, heres the news, ALL GOVERNMENTS, ALL POLITICAL PARTIES, do not give a damn about their own people that they claim to represent. clouding people and dumbing them down in the joke of consumerism and desires allows them to get away with what they want. they'll need luck with that during the recession when there's no cash for people to be asleep with, watch everyone wake up and discover our culture(such as tara) and our resources have been robbed due to that knacker,tinker,jackeen cunt ahern.

[hughjass1019]

Why did they keep shouting "Chelsea !! Chelsea !! "

[tightropetomg]

LOL!

[georditillidie]

what a good demo that was it was grat

i came from newcastle to do this

SHELL TO SEA

SHELL GET OUT OF IRLAND

[preacain]

build yer house on the pipeline! these people know that Ireland is being robbed and if there is an explosion people living within two n a half kilometers will be incinerated, its happened in nigeria and mejico and germany chances are it weill happen here too! so whats the matter you dont like people that are not from your town get a life and do some research on the matter !

[paudge68]

Show me the documentry evidence where shell pipelines similar to those that are being built in Mayo have exploded.Another thing I have no problem with people that are not from my town,but I do have a problem with outsiders coming into my town and bullying the locaal people.

[preacain]

Ok,outsiders bullying the locals? thats not on,though shell have caused trouble in the world, they are a just a company,the real criminals are the government,gave them rights to rob Irelands resourses witout ensuring our safety, a royalty porcentage for every Irish Citizen,I feel Betrayed and cheated, this type of pipeline has no record of explosions because its four times bigger than normal High Pressure its Gasses in crude state,Slan

[cscian]

can i ask when has shell ever bullied the local people just give an example

[2882890]

One of the most controversial cases in history: Ken Saro Wiwa in Nigeria, look it up online.

[cscian]

thats not an example thats just the same crap you lot have all bein saying. there have been no explosions because the pipe lines are safe the ones used in ireland far exceed safety standards set by the eu lets just face it you will never be happy. you guys will be the same people protesting in a few years because their are no jobs in the area and of courses all you will do is stand there waving placards and be-lame the government and everyone else but you selves

[EddieDillon110]

Yeah, you're certainly winning alright you clown, ye sneaked in and walked out through the front gate. Brilliant, well done. That achieved what exactly?

[pomox]

p.s. "gardai/corruption"

[pomox]

sorry, "destruction"

[pomox]

"chase those crazy ballheads outta town" anyone who is idiotic enough to have respect for corruption, theft, distruction, and corruption(they like corruption!),google "shell/corruption" check out ray burke, and shells record worldwide, and maybe ya might just start to accept the fact that the people protesting against shell aint just doing it for kicks. thats all thats needed, said.

[jimminycricket86]

our govmt and most others in the world are corrupt and simply please themselves to as much of an extent they can get away with, if its a democracy then lets vote on things regarding our countries heritage and natural resources not just say sell sell sell , fukin jackasses the lot of em`

[cscian]

the goverment have done nothing wrong they are doing nothing but brining the resources of ireland to fruit.the goverment listened to what you wanted and they acted on that they moved the pipe which is what you wanted but then you changed you'r problem.you were never going to be happy

[preacain]

The Government are a sell out ! other governments ensured a porcentage of profits of the extraction and exploitation of thier national resourses for thier Citizens ! they are Gombeens !

[ClareBEarmmmm]

how are they a sell out the pip line will bring money and jobs even if it is in small amounts and if you still think that then you need to bear in mind you arent jst saying that about the goverment but also about the courts the gardai and the country as a whole

[preacain]

They sold out in the nordic counteries the govts estimate the value of the resourse and profits and then ensure that all thier citizens benefit so what maybe a couple of jobs for construction but the govt have sold out must be gettin a backhander though because no one could be that stupid

[cscian]

no shell arent whiter then white in anyway

but on this project they are. the courts and safety checks have all cleared shell and have said that the safety standards far exceed the standard minimum you just cannot be pleased

[cscian]

the gardai have done nothing wrong at any point.they have followed the law the courts of our country have said that shell are following the law.the gardai are enforcing the law for example clearing the public highways so the trucks can get threw.and if the people refuse to move force(baton charges etc)are within the law and to be frank you deserve it

[odonoghueeoghan]

Well put!!!

[shoto315]

well said

[deckreckah]

Ok all things considered, the protest is sketchy in terms of its premise. But does anyone else feel that the fact that the gas field was sold off for a fortune of its net worth, is an absolute scandal? Surely that in its self is worth protesting about.

[mackbright]

I HATE CRUSTIES

[ballhead789]

I think the irish dont have enough respect for the Garda. Reguardless of being heavy handed which i think the garda are, the people definately dont have enough respect for the law.

When a police officer tells you to leave, you fucking do it..

[helenback07]

I agree, respect should be given to the gardai, but what have they don ein this case to earn it. Respect MUST be EARNED!!Plus, they are heavy handed with the wrong people, these people are peacefully protesting against something they think is unjust, what about thugs who are disobeying the law everyday, how about dealing with them heavy-handedly???

[shroommonster]

we will not back down shell til i die nigger go on the mother fuckin rednecks also i love the tans

[Toureag]

Shell to sea protestors are HYPOCRISTY! They are the real losers! Fuck nut!

[compo82]

The Shell To Sea make me sick!

[markmoore1985]

the beardy leader is a tool blatantly being ignorant to the gardai after being given a direct order which they are completely allowed to do ...........after seing this video i am more and more behind the gardai and then the video tries to make the point that they got one up because they were allowed leave threw the front gate pure immaturity

[BarryCaff]

Like people were behind the RIC. We've always had people like you in this country, we probably always will. Everyone has their cross to bear.

[markmoore1985]

this video shows the idiocy of the leaders of the protest.........they first said they were protesting over how dangerous the pipes were then the guy at the start says it is coz they dont want a foreign company then that labour youth fool tries to appear to know what he is talking about

[william244]

take a shower and get a job

[BarryCaff]

What's up, Billy? Someone tell you people in Mayo don't wash? Tut, tut.

[geilbear]

I was there, it was scarey especially when the cops started marching towards us, they really looked like they were going to beat the shit out of us!

[bellapadella]

guys, I've just been hired by shell in London.. I didn't know about this.. shall I leave my job? do you know where can I get more information??

[seanprendevil]

I'd say something but most of the fuckers don't even know what they're protesting about. What did they achieve by walking out the front gate? NOTHING...

[BarryCaff]

We showed we can go in and out any time we want. And we will.

[seanprendevil]

What good does it do? the pipeline will be finished no matter what ye do.

[BarryCaff]

No, it won't. They don't even have a route anymore. They're finished. The only reason they keep building is so they can bleat "Look at all the money we've spent" when they try and screw the state for more money on their departure. Good riddance.

[seanprendevil]

Bullshit it will be finished and well you know it..

[BarryCaff]

Never happen, son. Slán.

[seanprendevil]

Is happening as we talk...

[BarryCaff]

No, it's not. The High Court told Shell they can't build their pipeline through people's land. See this week's Mayo News.

"Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceeding small;

Though with patience He stands waiting, with exactness grinds He all."

[saoirse1798]

A tiny community can invoke such a great spirit!!And stand up to "vested" interests!It's harder to change things now a days than it ever woz but maybe this community can inspire for greater change!! Keep it up!!

Leave Éire for the Irish send Shell back to Sea!!

[Mossie2904]

ha ha smelly!!! get a job

[BarryCaff]

What's the problem with the front gate, Mossie? You more of a back gate man?

[Mossie2904]

petty petty fuckers! going out the front gate! go have a shower!!!

[baabaa3000]

your really pathetic

[Mossie2904]

ye lads are sad bastards!!! get a job! Going out the front gate! Who gives a shit! Up the Gardai!!

[baabaa3000]

well 'mossie' you obviously have no brain if you think they are sad bastards alot of people give a shit why dont you grow up and realise how these people are being treated their health is being disregaurded for money they should be supported not ridiculed.

[gingergritterglitter]

It's very commendable that so many people attended.

[mfitzp]

Gr8 vid, Wtf was with the choice of music in the end though lmfao! i'll be there in dub

[johneganEP]

brill

[nevermindtheballots]

Great to see mass defiance and the Gards powerless as the crowd marches on. Shame about it looking like a party political broadcast for the Labour party. The overwhelming majority of people involved in this campaign are not in Sinn Fein, Labour Youth, or any political party. They all use self-organisation and direct action to great effect and few have any illusions that a 'good' representative in the dail is going to make any difference. Spare us the party political broadcasts please

[guydebordisdead]

"leave the way you came"

Mad garda bastards. Great to hear what went on in the dialogue between John and the filth.

[Fidelma74]

Great to hear from Sinn Fein Counciller and General Election Candidate Gerry Murray at the opening of this video. Vote Sinn Fein Number 1 in Mayo and all over the country!
