Friday March 30, 2007 15:45 by Ray, Gráinne et al. - Cork Shell to Sea corkshelltosea at gmail dot com
How a bunch of runners embarrassed a Marathon! At 11:30 this morning, ten members of Cork Shell to Sea staged an occupation of Marathon Oil's Irish HQ in Mahon, Cork. Many of the people on the action were dressed as runners, both as a play on the company name and as an allusion to the marathon determination of the Erris communities and the campaign itself. Entry was swift, easy, and unforced. We were inside there for over half an hour before the Gardai arrived. A spirited and good-natured dialogue occurred between Cork S2S members and senior management at Marathon Oil. We left dragging our heels a little, making our departure protracted. At 11:30 this morning, ten members of Cork Shell to Sea staged an occupation of Marathon Oil's Irish HQ in Mahon, Cork. Until now, the role of Marathon Oil in the Corrib Gas scandal has received little or no attention from either the campaign or the media. Marathon are happy to let Shell be the bloody spear-point of the Big Oil takeover of Ireland's natural resources, while Marathon themselves can pretend it has nothing to do with them. Given what has happened up in Erris over the last seven years and yes, Marathon Oil has been involved from the very beginning, Marathon's self-serving guff about 'corporate responsibility' on their website reads like a sick joke.

Well done you lot. Our friends in Mayo need all the support that they can get. We need to get more people out in the peoples republic of Cork. It is time to stand up and be counted against this type of oppression. Keep us posted on future events and let them hear the rebels roar.
May 1st
it would be an idea to occupy shell headquaters in dublin for as long as physically possible with as many people as possible on may 1st. if a couple of hundred people turned up you could stay there for the whole day. bands, speechs and road blocks could grab media attention!!!!
time to get active as ONE BIG group.
