"Let the People of Rossport be Heard!"

The National Irish Freedom Committee (NIFC) has been helping publicise the struggle of the people of Rossport for quite some time now and we are the only Irish organisation here in America that has been vocal in our support of the community in Mayo, and have actively used all our resources to try help keep our membership, other concerned people, and the general public informed about what is going on there.

The National Irish Freedom Committee (NIFC) has been helping publicise the struggle of the people of Rossport for quite some time now and we are the only Irish organisation here in America that has been vocal in our support of the community in Mayo, and have actively used all our resources to try help keep our membership, other concerned people, and the general public informed about what is going on there.

We view it as an more obvious than usual attack on community that the fatcats in leinster house who couldnt care less about the "common people" as well as an anti-enviromental monster being put in in an ecologically pristine rural landscape. As Terence Conway says it the video "corruption goes across party lines". This is because the 26 county state is a overly centralised corrupt state, in which the Irish people have little to no say in their own affairs.

The National irish Freedom Committee fully endorses and promotes the visionary and democratic EIRE NUA programme as an alternative to the current partitioned set up in Ireland. The reasons we support and promote the EIRE NUA and SAOL NUA programmes is because they bring power down to the lowest level, right down to the community. Only through the way put forward in these documents can communities - the Irish people - have a say in how they are run. This is genuine power to the people, not just a slogan. In an Ireland envisioned in EIRE NUA, situations such as Rossport simply could not occur. EIRE NUA is also the most enviromentally sound document put forward in building a new free Ireland.

This video is the second video about Shell to Sea produced by the NIFC. The first was selected by Revolt Video, an Irish colective that distrubutes and screens activist based video and film, and was shown along with other Rossport video in Dublin on October11th. This second video was initially on our website a few weeks ago, but due to email requests has been put back on to the main page. It is both in English and as gaeilge. You can view it by visiting the NIFC webssite at: www.irishfreedom.net and scrolling down to the latest Shell to Sea news, and clicking the related video link. It is just under 60 minutes. You are able to hear those who are directly involved in defence of their community and enviroment.

Included in this film are:

* Terence Conway

* Caitlin ni Sheigin (as gaeilge & bearla)

* Willie Corduff & Family

* Sean Harrington (bearla & gaeilge)

* a journey through the area showing

* a visit to the Rossport Solidarity Camp

The National Irish Freedom Committee would also invite you to view other available video on our website, there is currently a filmed interview with Tan war veteran and Kerryman Dan Keating. Dan, who is patron of Republican Sinn Fein, is a 104 years old and the interview is of historical importance and offers a younger generation of activitsts both insight and inspiration, as he offers viewers a rare glimpse into a lifetime of struggle and commitment to the Republican Ideal. . The NIFC has also begun a free- form video discussion series, the first segment is online now. It feautures an interview with Richard Walsh, PRO of the Republican Prisoners Action Group. Even more so than the people of Rossport, political prisoners who are on protest to regain the right of political status are facing a media blackout. Learn more about the struggle for political status by viewing this video. Other up-coming segments will also provide a voice for those whom the establishment wish to silence and the mainstream media ignore. So keep an eye on the site as it is regualry updated.

Support the communities of Rossport and Bellanaboy
