Diversity kitsch is all around us. But as the grim fact forcefully confronts us that some immigrants hate their hosts so much they want to murder and rape them, David McGrogan senses that it is at last falling from favour.

Galway : "Free Rossport 5" campaigners protest at Frank Fahey's. TD, Constituency Office

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Monday July 04, 2005 16:41author by Dunlo Tom - Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

"It is now time for you to do the decent thing and resign!

This morning, led by Gerry Crowley, TD. and Shell to Sea campaigner, Padraig Cambell, some 50 people protested against the iniquitous jailing of the Rossport Five, outside the Ballybane Industrial Estate Constituency Office of Minister for State for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Frank Fahey.

Unfortunately, Fahey was'nt in attendance but his surrogates, the Special Branch and, let it be said, amiable Gardai were. Amongst the protesters were the noted writer, Jennifer Johnston, outgoing Mayoress of Galway City, Catherine Connolly, Galway City Councillor, Niall O' Brolchain, Socialist Republican, Mike Conneely and well known eco-warrior and anti-war activist, Stevo Olende. The nonpareil Gerry delivered a note of protest to Fahey's secretary - it remains to be seen whether he does the right thing and resigns (we are not naively standing idly by with bated breath)?.

The contents of the protest letter are : Minister Fahey, you were the minister directly responsible for giving the oil companies involved in the Corrib Gas Field a Compulsory Acquisitions Order for lands along the proposed upstream pipeline. As such, you bear a certain moral responsibility for the jailing of five Rossport residents whose only crime was to try and protect their families from certain danger from the potentially disastrous high pressure raw pipeline that is being forced through their lands.

Your period as minister saw the oil companies benefit to a massive extent from various leases, authorisations, permissions, etc, It is now time for you to do the decent thing and resign.
