UPDATE: Thursday, Jun 9 2005: Locals Force Shell's Trucks to Back Down
excerpt A local resident was driving up a road, with no traffic mangement, at around 5.30pm today, and was obstructed by two large trucks carrying pipes to the Shell compound at Rossport. The resident was then told to reverse and make way for the trucks as the narrow roads cannot accomadate such traffic. He refused and was soon joined by 15 supporters.....read the full report (with photos)

Judge - Just because I thought it was right to give an injunction against the landowners doesn't mean I was right. A hearing will determine that.
Philbin - I want the Minister for the Marine for 2002 in court to testify whether he signed the original order or not.
Judge - You can do that at a hearing - not today.
Philbin - The plaintiff argued in seeking the injunction that the Facility was in the national interest. The government has thus facilitated a private company from getting a Compulsory Acquisition order for the company's own private gain. The Irish State will be buying this gas back from Shell at top dollar. How can this be in the national interest?
Judge - It might not be in the national interest. If they are wrong compensation will be paid. Isn't that what compensates everyone?
Philbin - Money can't fix safety.

Not so long ago on Indymedia Ireland - Maura Harrington, a local campaigner implored people to come down to the solidarity gathering in Rossport against the construction of a Shell pipeline through the area. She said that “once you see the area you will agree with us that it is not the place for a gas refinery and an unprecedented high pressure up stream pipeline." How right she was. Last weekend over two hundred people travelled to the back arse of Mayo to take part in a Reclaim The Beach celebration of resistance to Shell in the area and to attend workshops on Shell’s brutality in Nigeria, engage in walking tours of the area led by local campaigners and enter into a dialogue on how best to advance the campaign. (Reclaim the Beach Photo-Essay)
