The people of Rossport and Erris are grateful for the support from Scotland.
The less myopic people realise that it's an incursion on civil rights with far reaching consequences.
For the first time in the history of the Irish state compulsory acquisition orders were issued to local people on behalf of a consortium of multinationals.
The purpose of these is to route a highly pressurised pipeline carrying untreated gas nine kilometres inland to a gas terminal now being built on a four hundred and fifty acre site sold to them by a semi state body.
A visit to the Rossport area would illustrate the shoddy practices and shortcuts being taken by Shell that they are famous for in other areas of the world.
Shell have a bigger economy than Ireland and are not afraid to walk over anyone who gets in their way.
Dissenting voices in the government are few and for a so called democracy our choice between the two main political parties is no choice at all (I know this sounds familiar to the British people)
If activism dies so do our rights and so do we.
Well done to the demonstrators. The people of Northwest Mayo are hardy and will not give up.
