Its unfair to discount the whole Shell to Sea campaign on account of the opinion of one woman, everyone should see the movie, 'The Pipe', highlighting the struggle of the community and the oppression they were subjected to while they protected their homes and land, and the lack of support from the local authorities. Travesty.
Shell paid bribes to the police in Belmullet.they have their own private security armed and dangerous at all times.They of course sank pat o donnells boat im suprised they hadnt put him in it when it sank.the locals are being bullied about by shell and it happens all around the world.politicans in the area backed shell.Geesala boxing club got some money of them via gerry coyle.Maura Harrington has more balls than most men around that area,fair play to you maura
For over thirteen years, multinational oil giant Royal Dutch Shell has done everything in its power to stop a trial from taking place at which the company must answer to charges that it colluded with the Nigerian military to commit serious human rights abuses to quell peaceful resistance to its operations in the Niger Delta region called Ogoni, including conspiring to bring about the conviction and execution of Ogoni leader Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight of his colleagues.
When some people retire they take up gardening or maybe golf. Maura has taken up causing unrest and gathering a group of esily influenced, simple minded followers, costing the state millions, intimidating the 'real' locals and wasting peoples time. witch
Great observations crossman20&texas bob, you have seen right through it too
Jugg its just a disgrace what happened poor Pat O'Donnells piece of shit boat with the mysterious masked men wearing full diving gear boarding it for 2 hours before sinking it. How lucky though that his brother just happened to be in the area that night and that he had a life boat on board !! Poor poor unfortunate guy. The same masked men that "beat up" Willie Corduff a few weeks ago but left no bruises. And poor Willie is in so much shock, he hasnt reported it to Gardai yet.
Gee, I hope Pateen didn't forget to collect the 20 grand being offered by Shell (to all trawler owners) for any possible disruption to their income due to pipe laying. Thats two years @ 20,000 = 40,000 euros. Not too shabby, i'say. I sure hope his boat was insured. Maybe for another 40 grand. It's an ill wind that doesnt blow good for someone. Be jaze, Pateen is beginning to look like a real cute hoor.
Latest news - it was Maura Harrington who boarded the Iona and sank it. Apparently she was looking for some lunch!! She sunk it then in her psychotic rage when she couldn't find anything.
go away and find yourself a husband you big closet case. you dont live anywhere near shell and have a nice state pension to keep you. the ordinary people of the area are facing emmigration again and shell could stop that. too much time on your hands you bitter auld bitch
I am amazed by the evil, obscene comments posted regarding this woman, even if you do not agree with her or the Shell to Sea campagin, there must be something very wrong with the psyche of these bitter people, so much hatred and filth. Happy to see the country robbed of its natural assets, happy to be hoodwinked by politicans, but hating people who stand up to them. Morons and idiots, with little personal conviction.
Well as you know, An bord Pleanala have not given Shell the go ahead to run their pipeline over the remaining 7km of unstable bogland, so minor victory it may be, but thanks to Maura and dedicated campaingers they will have to rethink the route.
well done maura, the country would be a better place if there were more people like you, who where willing to stand up for what they believe in. dont mind your knockers, just sad people who would never have the courage or guts to do what you have done.
Hardly a major victory.Doing a hunger strike stating that you wont stop till the ship leaves,the ship had a job to do and then it was obviously going to leave. A 10 day hungerstrike holy shit thats impressive, 10 whole days WOW.
God bless you Maura and those people who have the strength and integrity to stand up for what is right. It is easy and the modern way to go with the flow and not be too discerning in how multinationals go about their business. They rely on our ignorance and are only interested in profit. It is brave people like you who remind them that they dont and never will have carte blanche to do what they desire in our country. God bless mo chara
MAURA HARRINGTON ENDS HUNGER STRIKE AS SOLITAIRE LEAVES IRISH WATERS
September 19th
Today's departure of the Solitaire from Irish territorial waters is a major victory for both Maura Harrington and the Shell to Sea campaign. We hope that it does not attempt to return to Irish waters. If it does it will be met with even more determined opposition on land and at sea.
Willski12 I persume the twelve on your name is your mental age, its got to be because when you grow up NO sorry thats hardly going to happen. Your an idiot and you will never change.Why stray of your bone head sites to serious site when you haven't the brain capacity to understand it. vroom vroom vroom fool fool fool
1. The natural gas in the Corrib field should be refined safely offshore 2. The people of Ireland should see a good return and lasting benefits from the exploitation of their natural resources 3. Those associated with the scheme and the giveaway of Ireland's resources should be held accountable
willski12: Yes, the world currently needs oil. This is not the issue. Why leave such an irrelevant comment. Take a few minutes to do your research before making such ignorant remarks the next time.
its funny and /or worrying that there are trolls on youtube. u can spot them a mile away though by lookin at their profiles. cant believe they have people, tryin to fight our ideas even on youtube. p.s no i mean goons as in probably racist morons like you xocomaaox
fuck you you sad bastard! this woman is worth a thousand of you, your the one thats stupid, go read up on what the cost of natural resorces is doing to this planet, war,famine,pollution etc etc the list is endless, of course you dont care because it obviously hasnt affected you yet, but it will i promise you, ever heard of solar,wave,wind,electric engines, clean renewable resorces, we can use oil sure but essentially we dont need it u moron!
You dont know who i am. And i havent read any of what you said becuase im already bored of your pathetic rant. Everything uses/needs oil, even the computer you are on is mostly made out of oil, fuckin hipocrit.
ya i dont disagree that we can use oil and we do use it and will use it for centuries to come, but if shell or any of these corporations came walking into your back yard and started taking your families oil{which ye might use to heat house etc or proceeded to emty your car tank of petrol/diesel and wrecked your yard with waste etc, your tellin me you would bend over and take that shit????
and when you called the guards/police to make them stop they would arrive and beat the shit out of you and your family sayin you had no rights to complain, would you be ok with that???and then when you asked others to help or at least listen they just called you a stupid hippie, how would you feel willski12 ???
these people and this woman included are not hippies or crustys as you might call them, they are just ordinary hard working people like me and you willski12,and just like us they dont like being walked on by corporations,and beaten up by the police they and we pay taxes to,!we do need oil fair enough,but not at the cost of hurting our honest citizens,and not to mention all that irish oil is going straight to norway and elsewhere not ireland, we get nothing!
ill be big enough and take back the shitty things i said about you earlier WILLSKI12 , if you just check out wats really going on in mayo and realise that this isnt just some environmental issue, this is a fight for irish rights and a fight for our resourses our respect and in the end, a fight for EIRE/IRELAND!
In your back yard? Oil hasn't been found in a back yard since Jed Clampett luck strike when he was hunting back in the 60's. Those innocent days are long gone.
fuck you you yuppie stuck up dick head, people like you are so smug and superior in themselves! this woman is not a hippy as you put it ,stop wanking yourself to images of britney spears and and go get your facts straight you disgusting excuse for a human!!!!
beir bua maura. Solitaire amach. keep the spirits up. shame on shell and the dirty staters and their hired goons and spooks. lets get out and try and do what we can to stop all this
Those socialist indymedia types are going to let a woman who needs physiological help die. She has a point though, shell would have been better off to have done the project right.
