Just another manic monday.

Glen­gad com­pound invad­ed and work stopped for over 3 hours. Traf­fic con­trol out of con­trol.

On a sun­ny dawn after a suc­cess­ful nation­al cam­paign meet­ing at the week­end, cam­paign­ers decid­ed to take to the bog and stop work on the Glen­gad com­pound where Shell are cur­rent­ly exca­vat­ing the recep­tion pit for the tun­nel bor­ing machine.

All the pro­test­ers man­aged to breach the rag­tag fences and two decid­ed to rest them­selves upon a Shell dig­ger.
Work was stopped for over 3 hours on the com­pound.

Protest con­tin­ued with a road block­ade but when dig­gers recom­menced there work, pro­test­ers ran back to the com­pound and tried once more to breach the fences and stop work.

After a short scuf­fle with Shell secu­ri­ty IRMS pro­test­ers moved back to block­ade trucks for the rest of the day.
