 Saturday September 30, 2006 21:42 by Eve - Rossport Solidarity Camp/ Shell to Sea
 The 30 of September marks one year since the Rossport five were relesed form Clover hill prison. One year since the release of the five, six years since the campaign first began and fifteen months from pickets commenced the struggle is far from over. Today the anniversary was celebrated with a barbeque outside the gates of the proposed refinery site where earlier in the week campaigners sucessfully blocked Shell's attempt to recommence work. The atmosphere was relaxed as folk chatted, feasted on an ample spread and enjoyed the early autumn sunshine. Kids played football where earlier they, their parents and neighbours had stood in front of Shell trucks. |

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1The media might only occassionally glimpse on this, but it's probably the most exciting struggle in the country at the midnight, and done with such determination, and quiet dignity as well. More power to the people of Rossport, and may Shell get a kicking until they realise that the terminal will be built at sea, or not at all!
