Cork group protest Shell Corrib Gas lecture at UCC![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() - College security and Gardaí mobilise to prevent debate - On midday on Friday 7th March the Institute of Chemical Engineers - and their corporate sponsors, Shell - had organised for an engineer from Shell's Corrib Gas Project to give a talk and workshop for staff and students of the Engineering College at UCC. A cork group formed and mobilsed to attend the lecture, distribute independent information on Corrib and challenge any Shell spin. The event was advertised very low key, but some UCC students brought it to the attention of some of the wider community of Corkonians involved in solidarity work against Shell & the Corrib Gas Project a few days before the lecture was due to take place. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 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. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Corrib remains a live issue and it is good to see students keeping the academics informed from grassroots activity. |
