It's almost certainly a propaganda outfit.
If they get behind you, you better be careful.
Something is going on.
The Corrib remains a live issue and it is good to see students keeping the academics informed from grassroots activity.
Lorna Siggins, Western correspondent, Irish Times today, in her article titled 'Tutu calls for inquiry into Corrib gas project policing' highlights Ireland's experience with Shell, the Corrib and the issue of policing. When is it more approriate than now to raise the issue of 'policing' and the history of the Corrib, the people and Shell Oil.
The group of signatories include: Peace and Justice group Afri, human rights Organisation Front Line Defenders and others. They are calling for the inclusion of the Corrib gas dispute to be included in "any Government inquiry" into Garda accountability.
Why? Oil industry is big business for elites and when companies like Shell choose locations like Ireland, we need to learn from countries like Nigeria, the social, the environmental and corruption costs that align themselves to being rich in a mineral resource but being reliant on the international companies to extract the oil/gas from our country.
The article states a series of incidents which resulted in the involvement of Garda Siochana Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) concerning incidents related to policing at the Corrib site in Mayo. Local residents in Mayo are reported to have been subjected to a series of incidents (from assault to serious injury) from 2006 onwards. This resulted in a large number of Gardai being deployed to the Corrib project. The Afri statement states:-
GSOC have been implicated on several occasions. According to Afri in the year 2008:-
"GSOC sought permission from the then Minister for Justice, Brian Lenihan, to conduct a "practice, policy and procedure" review of the policing of the Corrib gas project, but this request was denied"
In 2013, Ms Sekaggya, UN special rappoteur on Human Rights, who visited Ireland in 2012, called on the Irish Government to investigate "all allegations and reports of intimidation, harassment and surveillance in the context of the Corrib gas dispute".
Gardai dedicated to the Corrib need to be transparent and accountable. Who pays and at what cost to the services of An Garda Siochana in the exercise of their functions throughout Ireland? Human Rights must be a priority and any breach as highlighted above must be dealt with promptly.
It's great to see that solidarity is alive and well. Kudos to you and your friends. But what does it say of the sorry state of this country when our Gardaí have to patrol a University lecture and possible dissenters are kept at bay.
Shell to Sea, Shannonwatch, Ireland says No to Austerity, Justice 4 All, whistleblowers, anti-eviction groups, individuals, anti-war groups, a few great Independent TDs, Margaretta D'arcy and others are keeping the flame of indignant love burning.
Long life to you and ultimate success.
