Mayo Solidarity Protest at GPO Dublin

September 11th 2008

A large group of people showed their solidarity with Shell to Sea hunger striker Maura Harrington and all those who are being arrested, detained, assaulted and otherwise attacked by the state for standing up to Shell.

The protest in Dublin city centre this evening, was attended by activists from a wide range of backgrounds and party affiliations, and as well as showing support for the fight against Shell, was an opportunity to spread the word about the shameful giveaway of the country's natural resources. Over a thousand leaflets were given out as protesters mingled with the evening shoppers on Dublin's main street.

Many passers-by commented that the goverment had yet to make a statement on the situation. Eamon Ryan is the Minister fo Natural Resources, and the Green Party Leader is John Gormley, Minister for the Environment. Neither has said where they stand in relation to Shell's scheme.

A large media presence recorded the event, interestingly including the photographer and journalist working for Independent newspapers. The real ones.

At least we think so.
