Friday March 13, 2009 22:24 by TD - Galway Shell to Sea
“I think this is terribly, terribly, dangerous” (Senator David Norris) Besides the draconian and unjust imprisonment of Maura Harrington for the relatively mild offence of slapping a Guard across the face during of the course of a Shell operation in which 20 protestors were injured by Garda acting as Shell's thugs and battering ram in forcing a path for a digger and which none of them have been brought to book, it was the sinister decision of Judge Devins for Maura Harrington to be psychiatrically assessed that drew the most condemnation and fire, notably Senator David Norris who described it as "terribly, terribly, dangerous.” ... and after calling for a debate on the Corrib gasfield scandal went on to say that a minister of the day had given this field away for nothing to Shell, which was one of the worst polluters and one of the most avid multinationals and that he would be very sorry if, the Garda having been enlisted on behalf of a multinational, the court system should then begin to play a role in this matter (see link).
