Occupation of refinery site

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Friday July 13, 2007 22:36author by Caoimhe - Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

Breaking news

100 people have just occupied the proposed refinery site in Ballinaboy!

People jumped the main front gates of the refinery site and just walked on. Over 100 people occupied the site. The atmosphere was very relaxed and peaceful.

People chatted to the security staff and challenged them as to why they feel the necessity to work for Shell.

People stayed on site for roughly half an hour. They had a walk around, and a good look around. People walked right to the top of the site and back down again.

There were no Gardai there for the duration of the occupation.

People have just left the site together as a block and are going on to have a bonfire together and with the fishermen that have just been released from prison.

This follows a day of all out action by the people in Erris. Two people had locked on this morning to a vehicle. This blocade, supported by road blocades done by people on another road prevented the trucks from working for the vast majority of the day. The two men that 'locked on' have both been charged with numerous public order and road traffic offences. They are due to appear in the District Court in Castlebar on Wednesday.

Any man that would trespass on the very day he is released from jail must be very niave.
when the appeal judje hears what occured. he will send these fools straight back to jail.
this isnt he wild west this is a democracy!

Yeah right.

Trespass? Do you not know the history of 'tenure' on that site. It is Shell who are the trespassers.

An appeal judge has no business listening to 'hearsay' from you or anyone else.

Fools? No way pal, you're way out with that one.

did the fishermen not realise that the entire "trespass" was captured on camera!
when the judge sees that footage I gaurantee they will have six mth in jail, what were they thinking?
