Quotes for the day
"Fr Sean Noone, parish priest of Pollathomas, fears for the future. "The opponents, portrayed as baddies by Shell, are the prophets when it comes to our environment," he says. "
"the practice of "flaring off" excess gas, has damaged many peoples' health""Ever since the hanging of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other activists in 1995, this region has been seething with anger. Saro-Wiwa had been fighting against environmental degradation of his native Ogoniland by the Shell oil company." John Egan - BBC journalist - April 1999 Crossing Continents program for the BBC
John Egan now External Affairs Manager Shell E & P
"I am becoming sick and tired of lying..." Shell executive Mr Van de Vijver (Read how Shell misled its investors)
"We depend on fishing and farming, and to take that away from us — it’s genocide. If you take away our land, and then you pollute the water and so on, it’s just saying we don’t have any right to live." Ken Saro-Wiwa
"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Washington politicians, lobby groups pledge support to Rossport campaigner"
"I don't think any company, even Shell, umh, will introduce expensive safety measures unless they have to" Christy Loftus - Shell's Communications Officer in Mayo. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfNGwlaNIg&NR (Those Who Dance - Part 2 of 5 - timeline 07:54)
"First you came and tried to take our land.
Then when that didn't work you put 5 of our men to jail.
Then when that didn't work you brought in 200 gardaí and beat us into the drains and ditches"
Moving response by local resident P.J.Moran to Shell at the EPA oral hearing April 2007.
'Ireland should not negotiate away it's environmentfor the sake of a few jobs..'' Dr Owens Wiwa, brother of of executed Nigerian poet Ken Saro Wiwa
We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us. When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect. ~Aldo Leopold, A Sand County Almanac
"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you,then they fight you, then you win. "
Gandi
"We do not seek conflict, we know the strength of the forces arrayed against us. Know that because of them we can only use peaceful means, but we are determined that justice will be done!"
Mohandas K. Gandi
"Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds."
Albert Einstein
Shell’s weekly profits = Ђ375 million. Cost to send Shell to Sea = Ђ360 million which can be completely written off against the 1992 tax deal. Norway's 'Oil Fund' = Ђ52,000 pension fund per person. Norway's gain is Ireland's shame!

What's the difference between Wexford and Mayo County Council's ?
"Wexford County Council will move later today to prevent property developer Harry Crosbie from continuing with coastal protection works near his house.
The council says the work does not have the necessary planning permission and is within a Special Area of Conservation." ...Read the article here
"Minister for the Environment John Gormley is to order Shell consultants to restore a protected habitat in north Mayo where unauthorised drilling took place last month for the Corrib gas project.
The direction will point out that failure to comply with it may result in criminal proceedings being taken under the European Communities (Natural Habitats) Regulations 1997.
Mr Gormley is understood to be "very disappointed" that the multinational failed to follow proper procedures, but has been informed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service that no significant damage took place to the most sensitive ecological area.
The location at Glengad is a special area of conservation (Sac) within the Glenamoy bog. Mayo County Council had sought a court order against a Shell to Sea solidarity camp based in the same locality on the grounds that it posed a threat to the Sac." ... Read the article here

Shell's sham consultation
".....Last November over 20 commonage shareholders in Rossport and Muingnabo took a case to Belmullet District Court objecting to RPS entering their lands to carry out tests, including borehole drilling. Judge Mary Devins ruled that proper notification was not given to landowners nor was their consent sought under the Gas Act 1976. The judge said ‘the constitutional right of the landowner was paramount’ and prohibited entry until the provisions were adhered to."

Shell announce new pipeline route
SHELL TO SEA PRESS RELEASE 17/04/2008 - Pipeline route The announcement today of a pipeline route by Shell and Statoil signals further failure by the Corrib developers. The reality is that there is no consent for an inland refinery or any production pipeline in our community. This proposed route announced today literally cuts through the heart of our community. It exposes not just the people of Rossport but the people of the entire parish of Kilcommon to unprecedented and unacceptable risk. We do not give our consent to this and will resist it through every legal, political and campaigning means open to us, even though this could lead to more years of unnecessary conflict. This entire project has been the cause of untold misery, strife and unhappiness for our families and community. Our duty is to protect and defend the integrity and safety of our place and people. This conflict can be resolved if there is a genuine willingness on the part of Shell and Statoil to reach agreement and secure real consent. The tragedy is that there has always been a better way. What we need is resolution and agreement, not the forced imposition on an unwilling community of an unwanted and unsafe project.
Delegation back from Norway
“The position taken by the delegation was that if all parties recognised this self-evident fact [Bellanaboy is the wrong place for the refinery] then a major obstacle to a resolution of the dispute would have been removed. I hope the visit has moved us closer to a resolution but that depends on the actions of Statoil and the Corrib gas partners,” said Cllr Campbell." ...read full article here

"The heart of a man will soon harden away from nature" reflections of a Rossport Resident
Shell uses heavy machinery on the SAC at Glengad to "restore the SAC"!"While carrying out the work Shell brought down numerous heavy vehicles to the area of the first borehole even though it was obvious that some of these vehicles are not needed in the actual restoration of the SAC. Minister Gormley has stated previously that he was ordering the company to restore the area to its “original condition” under Article 19 of the habitats regulations, however bringing down trucks, diggers, vans, tractor & trailers, jeeps, a security hut and a bus is surely not helping to reverse damage already done on an SAC." ... read full article equipment hauled onto SACheavy machinery with steel tracks on the SAC One rule for Shell, another rule for the local community
