Supt. Joe Gannon refuses to speak to landowners solicitor at Pollathomais

This clip contradicts the evidence given by Supt Gannon to the media.

Here is an extract from an Irish Times article published on 30th Oct 09.
"THE GARDA at the centre of the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission decision had been given incorrect information before the Pollathomas protest took place, and said at the time that he was unaware that a solicitor for the landowner was trying to contact him by telephone."

We are losing roughly €540,000,000,000 worth of oil and gas to corporations and corrupt officials. Did you know Ray Burke & Bertie Ahern (both corrupt) changes our laws in the 90s to make our 50% royalties in natural resources to.... wait for it...... a whopping, 0%

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

@ruthdubh what stupid reasoning

[ruthdubh]

@donvit2 If the extraction of the oil and gas does not benefit the people of Ireland let it where it is.

[ruthdubh]

@donvit2 The gas would be better off left where it is, then to give away to a foreign company

[donvit2]

You're not answering my question. What Irish firm would have the resources to extract such a large amount of oil and gas?
