Maura Harrington - Hungerstride interview - shell to sea campaign

[BealtaineCottage]

How shameful it is to read some of these comments...Maura, you are a wonderful woman and better...a wonderful Irish woman!

[ZZKe7]

To give her her full title; Convicted violent criminal Maura Harrington. Let's not forget that she drew her full salary for as long as possible while NOT working, and tried to get the state (which she detests) to keep paying it. You're welcome, Maura!

[denismoloney27]

maura harrington is clearly an uninformed lunatic. look at the bigger picture. saving this little town from the minor damage thats being caused would destroy the country.

[c81]

she saved another few euro a wk by not eating!! miserable fuckers!

use ur energy by helping the country..not costing the country!!!

[pts742]

sad fucking whore put her in prision'''''and fuck her in the irisn sea sad cunt she was a teacher  well ireland is well fucked she is a tramp'''and drunk''look at her fuck up attt

[hiline2009]

the kind of woman we need- and not the likes of mary harney

[dazpatreg]

Fair play I respect what she did immensley. And for all those ignorant pricks who like to disdain because some 'culchie' is giving out, why not look at what other petrochemical companies have gotten away with for profit at the expense of safety (BP for example). Shell had the resources to use the safer method but it would cost more to develop. I'm sorry but the majority of Irish people seem to be cowerdly idiots who like to put down on everything because theyre afraid to stand up.

[caneetell]

Funny how she never actually "finished" her hunger strike?!?! Attention seeking nutter - drunk & disorderly last year, ended up in jail for it. Pity they couldn't keep her there..

[caneetell]

What a fruitcake! She loves the fame she's receiving from this whole scenario. She is a dangerous piece of work.

[donvit2]

she was a teacher?! that is disturbing...

[mikeat48]

Mad Cow.Should have let her starve...if she had her way we'd still be in the Dark Ages.Ask her about her drinking habits in Galway a while back..drunk and disorderly .

[MrKf1984]

we sold gas too cheap, not shells fault.i'd also buy a fiver for 50cents too if i could. protest outside the house of whoever signed the contract.

[manusdeburca]

i wish i had her will power. she lasted two days. i remember her being interviewed on the news and at the time she hadn't eaten in six hours.

it's scary to think a lula like that was a teacher.

[mayoforsamyehoors]

testament to the irish people that they have grown up enough to see through neurotic nutjobs like this, emotional blackmail and abuse of irish culture

[eamonnh23]

im a fianna faler and i think dat fuckin gov n d 1 b fore wer a crowd f gobshits

[steve1984a1]

[snafu59]

[oliversinhell3]

Irish Patriot !

[paudge68]

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

[delliman]

thanks maura your the only one able to stand up and dish it out our country is being robbed and the guards are lairs,big time ive seeen it well i guess there not called pigs for nothing,,

[rh7onda7]

god bless you

[rh7onda7]

sounds like a fine dedicated person with strong convictions - part of a dying generation in this increasingly craven society.

[96cambridge]

Was sent to montjoy prision a couple of days ago for 28 days!

[seuqitna]

what dirty scum in mayo

[seuqitna]

dirty waster

[Finnbar01]

And to think this woman as a school teacher had influence over children. She using violence in the form of her hungry strike to get her own way.

[motortaxireland]

I think you need a good shaggin Finbar!

[Finnbar01]

Will you be the one to give me that shagging? I think you need to grow up. What part of Ireland are you from?

[motortaxireland]

Im 23 not 29. I come from the Erris area, yes I see your miniature point regarding the farmers. How much information do you actually know about the project or are you just an egotistical attention seeker?

[Finnbar01]

OK, why don't you enlighten me please? Where have the protesting farmers gone too? Where is the doctor politician? Do they still turn up to protest? Are the protesters there the whole time all the time?

[motortaxireland]

I don't give a toss about the doctor politician or who or what is protesting, its the idea of the project in general and how the Irish Government sold the field for £1.00? Why are you for it so much? Your obviously not from the Erris area, you must have something against someone involved im guessing?

[motortaxireland]

P.s. I forgot to mention the word, recession, I think you might know what angle im coming from!

[Finnbar01]

I have no hidden interests nor do I have a vendetta against someone. Why didn't you answer my questions? I would appreciate it.

[motortaxireland]

Your some man!

[Finnbar01]

Any chance of answering my questions? You're some man youself.

[motortaxireland]

Ahh Boo

[Finnbar01]

I guess you don't even know why you're protesting yourself. hmmm?

[motortaxireland]

You've too much time on your hands, are you trying pass the day and get some overtime? Cough.

[Finnbar01]

No I'm not avtually working today. Still won't answer my questions. I'm just curious to know where are the farmers now and what are the protesters' opinions of them? Does the Mad Doctor still turn up to protest? Are the protesters there all the time 24/7?

[Finnbar01]

By the way how many of those farmers who were jailed are still protesters? Have they being paid off?

[goodydood]

shell to shore jail 5 more

[eddthe123444]

Brave Maura, god bless ya, could someone clarify what terms, Maura agus Shell chun saile would be happy with?

[larrycake1981]

i see by your profile UmofoN that you are fond of the US air force. Speaks volumes.

[UmofoN]

Drunk ugly mofo.

[vidakash]

In the 3rd World the corporations bribe the politicians, whereas in the 1st World they make sure the politicians are their shareholders. Hmmm

[96cambridge]

plenty of curruption here in ireland

[vidakash]

Environmental issues aside, the government should have consulted the local community before making a deal anyway.

Having hopefully learned their lesson, they should now consider the 500 M as a kind of penalty for failing to go through a democratic process. Or if they prefer they can consider it as a kind of mend for the injury.However, if they fail to pay and solve this problem before anyone is irreversibly hurt as well, I'll have to make the following conclusion:

[ire1land]

Go raidh maith agat chara. My point is that the same people that are laughing and mocking maura are the same greedy money worshipping fools that believed bertie a year ago that celtic tiger would last forever,keep borrowing.Now they are in the shit and in danger of losing everything they have,The problem with maura is she knows what she is talking about and cant be persuaded otherwise.Maura decided not to follow the piped piper! Corporations fear that, but love the fools that dance to their tune

[larrycake1981]

go n-eiri an tadh leat. beir bua. solitaire amach anois.

[joanofnarc]

You need the support of all the people of Ireland good luck maura.

[cobrolchain2]

Is dea-shampla do mhuintir na hÉireann tú a Mháire. Is náire iad rialtas sin na Seoiníní i mBaile Átha Cliath. Go n-éirí leat.

[ire1land]

Good girl maura, your going to put the shite right up in them bastards.Where are the goverment, hiding like every other time there was a tough cause to be fought.Why are the goverment not drilling for gas and oil instead of foriegn companies who have no interest in irish well being but only to suck dry our resources and then clear off again leaving behind devastation! Irish gov taking the saxon gold again!!! shell will do well to remember the lessons of BOBBY SANDS RIP,dont let it happen again

[villagaeilgeoir]

[96cambridge]
