In Cloverhill prison this morning, July 2nd, Micheál Ó Seighin said that what the 5 men who are in jail want is for the normal technical standards of the oil and gas companies themselves to be applied by Shell. They are not looking for any privileges.

They will not purge their contempt if it means putting people’s lives in danger. They have no contempt for the courts, but human life has a higher value than a High Court injunction.

I bPriosún Cloverhill maidin inniu, 2 Iúil, dúirt Micheál Ó Seighin nach raibh ón gcúigear fear atá sa bpríosún ach go gcuirfeadh Shell i bhfeidhm na gnáthchaighdeáin teicniúla atá ag na comhlachtaí ola agus gáis iad fhéin. Níl said ag lorg aon phribhléid nó aon rud eisceachtúil.

Níl said chun leorghníomh a dhéanamh sa díspeagadh seo más ionann sin agus sláinte muintir an Rois a chur i mbaol. Níl aon dímheas acu ar na cúirteanna, ach tá an bheatha níos tábhachtaí ná urghaire de chuid na hArd-Chúirte. read full story / add a comment
