Shell attempt to enter lands in Rossport, Mayo, to lay surveying posts for their pipeline, is defeated by local residents, again!

Today June 15th Shell attempted to access the lands of those Rossport residents who do not want them there.
Three jeeps, about ten engineers, and a Garda squad car were in attendance. While trying to get onto the land of Philip McGrath they were told they did not have permission and left, likewise with some lands for which Willie Corduff has power of attorney. The police took names but took no other action. This was the first attempted entry since March 1st and the first attempted entry after the High Court granted temporary injunctions banning the landowners from stopping Shell from entering their lands.
They then went further up the pipeline route to the townland of Gortacragher and the farm of Brid McGarry, and likewise she denied them access without the proper consents. Paul Gallagher, a Shell Employee, then made an official complaint to the two Garda, saying they had a Compulsory Acquisition Order and Interim Injunction allowing them access. The Garda just took names.
