Water tasting event at the EPA, 1-2PM Friday April 28th-Entrance opposite Liberty Hall, beside James Connolly statue

Shell to Sea activists plan to set up a table outside the Environmental Protection Agency office at the Customs House in Dublin at lunchtime on Friday, and offer glasses of drinking water from Erris to staff coming in at out.

Erris drinking water comes from Carrowmore Lake. The lake is becoming heavily contaminated with aluminium as a by-product of the removal of peat from the site of the giant gas refinery that Shell seek to construct at Beal an Átha Buí (known in English as Ballinaboy or Bellinaboy).

Minister for Environment and Local Government Dick Roche

An invitation to attend the water tasting has been sent to Environment Minister Dick Roche.

Come along and help draw attention to the environmental contamination being caused by Shell in Mayo.

Event is from 1-2PM Friday 28th April, Environmental Protection Agency, Customs House, Dublin
(Entrance opposite Liberty Hall, beside James Connolly statue).
