Galway, Shell to Sea : Further protest today against Iggy Madden's denudation and rape of Bellanaboy

category galway | rights, freedoms and repression | news report author Friday March 30, 2007 20:40author by TD - Shell to Sea Report this post to the editors

660,000 metric tonnes of pristine blanket bog is going to be butchered from the earth

Galway Shell to Sea activists eschewing stronger stuff for the time being, today, mounted a picket against Iggy Madden Haulage on Lough Atalia Road and outside his nearby depot. Over 20 activists participated including the front line troops of the SWP and SP and the cutting edge and conscience of Rossport in the form of 3 of the Rossport 5 and wives.

Madden, crony, gopher/gofer and right hand man of the disgraced Frank Fahey (Fahey had the free use of Madden's trucks during the last General Election) has a nice little earner in the shape of removing some 660,000 metric tonnes of Bellanaboy blanket bog and dumping it in a Bord Na Mona cutaway bog in Bangor Erris. Redolent of the notorious corrupt insuring of Larry Goodman's sale of beef to Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Madden, it turns out, is insured by Born Na Mona or the Irish taxpayer if there's a massive ecological fuck-up by the dumping of such massive amounts of bog and slurry.

So it goes, the, in your face, parasitic/symbiotic relationship of Big Business and government or perhaps it 's just what Benito Mussolini called "Fascism ; the true union of corporate and state power"?.
