LAST CALL FOR TRIP TO SHELL HQ!
(please circulate.)
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO BOOK TICKETS FOR THE TRIP TO LONDON, LIMITED SPACE LEFT!
Please read the following email for details of how to book tickets, the itinerary for the weekend, how to go by public transport on Saturday and what to bring.
1. WHATS HAPPENING
GLUAISEACHT are mobilising people from all over Ireland to travel to London this St. Patrick's weekend to "return the pipeline to Shell!" We are bringing a 70ft pipeline to Shell H.Q. on St Patrick's day to protest against the give away and mismanagement of our natural resources and to show our solidarity with the Shell to Sea campaign. Buses will leave from Limerick and Dublin on Friday 14th of March and meet at the Dail at 5pm to protest at our government's complicity in the Corrib gas project. From there we will embark on a weekend of actions in London highlighting the corrupt deal our government has done with Shell and the destruction of a area of extreme natural beauty. The weekend will culminate in a protest at shell H.Q. on St Patrick's Day where we "return the pipeline". We feel there is a good opportunity on St Patrick's weekend when there is so much good will towards Ireland to draw international attention to what is going on in Mayo.
