When it comes to the Rossport Five, Galway City is the New Jerusalem or just another crocodile tear?

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Sunday September 04, 2005 18:46author by Tommy Donnellan - Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

Never mind the bollocks heading, here's the real Mc Coy.

From Monday to Friday, Galway Shell to Sea activists have been outside Lynch's Castle in Shop Street for six hours daily (yesterday's stint was eight hours) leafleting the pedestrians on the plight of the Rossport Five, taking petition signatures - close to 11,000 so far and selling at cost or with an extra fifty cents added, handsome A5 size postcards to be sent to the Five in Cloverhill prison - an average of 125 are sold daily.

On Thursday evening, from 6PM to 7PM the Statoil Service Stations at Cemetery Cross and Headford Road along with the Westside Shell Station were picketed/blockaded.

More of the same is planned for the coming week.
