Pat O' Donnells 100th Day Demo

Four Dublin Shell to Sea campaigners chained themselves to the stairwells inside Department of Communications, Energy and Natural Resources as an action in solidarity with Pat ODonnell.

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 ODonnell.

Last February, Mr. ODonnell (52) was sentenced to serve seven months in prison on the spurious grounds of obstructing a Garda in the course of his duty.

Speaking from inside the building, Dublin Shell to Sea spokesperson, Caoimhe Kerins said: Pat ODonnell is a brave and honourable man who has simply stood up for the health and safety rights of his community and for the rights of the people of Ireland to benefit economically and socially from our vast oil and gas resources.
