With Richard away in Cratloe, Shane in Dunshaughlin, Tanya in, etc, etc ,for the duration of the Xmas period, Galway Shell to Sea could only muster two of its activists to do picket duty outside the Shell Westside Service Station this afternoon, nevertheless, there was no appreciable lack of feedback from the passing motorists and pedestrians with one woman marooned in the gridlocked traffic beckoning us over for a chat regarding Shell - its wings severely clipped yesterday by Putin and Gazprom in regards to the Sakhalin 2 project. ... read full story / add a comment

Former INLA POW and member of the Ard Comhairle Gerard Forward from the Short Strand in Belfast gave the main speech. Gerard gave a well received rousing speech as well as a standing ovation. Soon afterwards a representatives of Dublin Brigade INLA read out a speech which included the condeming of those criminal elements (who are not and never where members of the Republican Socialist Movement) who use the name of the INLA to line there pockets.

9 states globally have enacted laws which allow their courts put to trial those accused of genocide. Accordingly June 2003 Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzón jailed Ricardo Miguel Cavallo, (also known as Miguel Angel Cavallo), a former Argentine naval officer, extradited from Mexico to Spain pending his trial on charges of genocide and terrorism relating to the years of Argentina's military dictatorship (1976 to 1983) in which over 9,000 Argentinians and as many as 30,000 disappeared. Today the Spanish courts ruled that Cavallo may better tried in Argentina. As a result, as of this morning the Argentinian state has 40 days to get their extradition process & papers in order. ... read full story / add a comment

Given as Shell’s site in Ballinaboy contains 400 acres, ten times more than the size of the refinery they are building at the moment, Shell to Sea activists have long suspected it is to be the first of many. A report published by the Petroleum Affairs Division of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, earlier this year envisages the construction of more refineries and more pipelines in Erris, in addition to the Corrib gas development, involving companies other than just Shell, and with state encouragement. A backgrounder on oil and gas in the west of Ireland can be read here: https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/10/352997.html ... read full story / add a comment

Sinn Féin held a protest outside Leinster house today demanding the release of IRA prisoners. The protest was made up of Sinn Féin and Ógra Shinn Féin activists. Some of Sinn Féin's TD's where also present showing their support for the campaign. 8 years following the GFA and 1 year following the IRA's decision to call an end to its armed campaign, there is no reason why IRA prisoners should still be in jail. ... read full story / add a comment
