Shell Panorama - Protesters Have Spent Time In Gaol
This is a CS3 photomerge of four photographs.
This is part of a very bitter protest against Shell bringing gas ashore in the West of Ireland ... see statement below.
We the undersigned request the following:
That Shell E&P Ireland (SEPIL) cease all operations in Erris, both onshore and offshore, pending a full investigation into the Corrib gas project as a whole, particularly in terms of the health and safety of the local residents in Rossport and the surrounding areas, and that it be agreed to refine the gas at sea. Stop the criminalisation of Irish citizens now. This project must not proceed as currently proposed. It will form a dangerous precedent.
We call on the Irish Government to revisit the issue of the licensing of our natural resources to ensure that the Irish people will benefit from future finds of gas or oil off our coast.
