Shell&BonesFind out more about the Ross­port Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp in Co.Mayo, Ire­land & how to sup­port the com­mu­ni­ty strug­gle against Shell in 2010.

UK sup­port­ers of the Ross­port Sol­i­dar­i­ty Camp are hold­ing a gath­er­ing at the Sumac Cen­tre in Not­ting­ham from the 12th-14th Feb­ru­ary. Any­one who has been active in the cam­paign or who would like to find out more is wel­come to join us for the week­end. There will be food by dona­tions & accom­mo­da­tion. We will be dis­cussing how to sup­port the strug­gle in Ross­port over the next year as the project moves to the on-shore pipeline stage.

The project has recent­ly been fur­ther delayed, with half of the pro­posed on-shore pipeline route deemed as pos­ing an unac­cept­able risk to the local com­mu­ni­ty. Shell have been asked by the plan­ning board to go away & design a new route by Feb­ru­ary. This will prob­a­bly go through the bay which they had pre­vi­ous­ly ruled out on envi­ron­men­tal & tech­ni­cal grounds.

There is still a lot of fight left in this cam­paign & works on a new route; if giv­en per­mis­sion prob­a­bly won’t start till June. That gives us lots of time to plan & pre­pare a sol­id resis­tance. The local com­mu­ni­ty need our help as much as ever so please come along to the gath­er­ing; meet peo­ple involved in the strug­gle & plot how to take on one of the biggest multi­na­tion­als in the world!!
