Well i was really impressed with the cce brochure about their fleadh in Sligo.
Very expensive to produce I would say, but sure there is no shortage of money these days. Anyway going through the booklet I see a full page advertisement for Shell Ireland…. Well its beyond belief that an organisation that preports to represent Irish culture can accept sponsorship from a corporation that bullied its way through a rural community in west Ireland , part Irish speaking.contact for CCE is Labhras O Murchu is 062 611222, 01 618 4018.
CCE are accepting money TO PROMOTE MUSIC from an organisation, Shell

Anonymous guest, what relevance is that, if a person thinks something is wrong and is attampting to daw this to more peoples attention, does it matter, where the original information comes from, what is your problem, are you someone who has a long term grudge against me? and who has nothing better to do than be pernickity?
I am asking these questions, because you appear to have a lot of time on your hands, that you might possibly use more productively.

Vimeo ? Is that a real word? Whatever the correct name for it, it lasts for an hour so I will have to wait until I have more time to watch it.

I did note that the opening scenes showed locals against a background of private cars and fishing boats, all powered by the sort of products provided by the likes of Shell. They are clearly happy to pollute the air with diesel and petrol fumes providing the fuel production is done in someone else's back yard.

I have problems identifying anything as a 'personal grudge' if the poster is anonymous!

I watched the full video and found it interesting but it left me with as many questions as answers. As might be expected, both sides claimed that they had the support of the majority but both conceded that there were divisions within the community, The Shell spokesman admitted to there being a sizeable group opposed to the project. One of the protesters said that there were people who were indifferent to the project while others were benefiting from it financially.

Do you know of any reliable source, GSS, which gives an objective estimate of the percentages of those in the community who were pro-, anti- or indifferent to the project?

Visit the community Doug you will soon find out.
read this doug,

Political pressure is growing in Britain to establish the extent of undercover police operations within British and Irish protest movements, following the recent exposure of a British undercover agent who had spent time as a member of several campaigns in Ireland, including in the Corrib Gas protest.

Police Constable Mark Kennedy, a Metropolitan Police officer, infiltrated several environmental and anti-capitalist political campaigns in Britain and other European countries using the fake identity of Mark Stone.

Reports say he lived with his wife and their two children in the village of Kilbrin in County Cork since 2000, where the local priest Father Michael Campbell said he had met Kennedy/Stone once in Kilbrin, but knew the family well.

According to Irish political activists, Kennedy's political activities were widespread. He spent several days in north Mayo in 2006 participating in a workshop for the Shell to Sea campaign and he visited the home of Willie Corduff, one of the so-called Rossport Five who were jailed in 2005 for refusing to obey a court injunction.

Kennedy also took part in the Dublin May Day protests in 2004 and in the demonstrations against the visit of then US president George W Bush to County Clare the following month. Several activists who met Kennedy in Ireland have said he encouraged more confrontational tactics in their protesting.

In interviews published in the British press this week Kennedy said he was involved in five major protests and passed on invaluable information to the British police about the movements of demonstrators.

Kennedy added that his reports were passed straight to then prime minister Tony Blair and that he was given a commendation for his role.

If I have to find time to watch an hour-long video, then clearly I don't have time for fact-finding visits to the west of Ireland. I just hoped that you might have had more information than me.

Your cut and paste from the IrishCentral.Newsletter is a side issue which doesn't address the question that I asked.

Shell, and their smokescreen Topaz, are destroying community in Ireland, and we will be showing them up at the fLeadh in August. Disgusting. Postings saying otherwise are the produce of their immeasurable PR machine. Ignore them GSS!
