Shell failed to start work yesterday as expected in the face of large numbers of picketers who gathered outside the gates of their proposed refinery site at Bellanaboy. Shell failed to start work at their proposed refinery site yesterday morning as close to one hundred Erris residents and Shell to Sea campaigners gathered outside the gates to stop them. In the aftermath of the Cassell’s report Shell stated that they intended to recommence work at Bellanaboy in September. Last week local sources indicated that Shell would attempt to enter the site yesterday, Tuesday 12th of September. The same sources revealed that the Shell to Sea show of strength deterred Shell and Roadbridge resulting in their no show. The gardaí did not make an appearance at yesterday’s picket. |

The length of time this protest has been going on, it must be exhausting and wearying for people on the spot. Just to say, we know what you must feel like and think of you even if we cant be there. We also appreciate the worth of what you are doing as it relates to all the comparable struggles around the country. Hang on in there and hopefully more of us will get to you to support you in what you are doing.
Well done folks - it looks like yeese are ready, willing and able to take them on and win!
Does the heart good
