resources in what is known as the lough allen basin the lough allen basin covers parts of counties cavan donegal fermanagh leitrim mayo monaghan roscommon sligo and tyrone covering an area of 8000 square kilometres in total speaking following the protest éirígí sligeach activist gerry casey who was among the demonstrators said an immediate halt must be called to this entire process despite paying lip service to it there has been no meaningful consultation by the dublin government or by tamboran with the communities set to be affected by this exploration and extraction of natural gas despite the massive dangers involved more importantly the communities affected have not given their consent for it he added once again éirígí supports the call for the process known as fracking to be banned the potential for grave environmental damage and the dangers posed to human and animal health and safety are too great and cannot be ignored the health and safety of the people of the region must be put before the quest to amass profits by private exploration companies casey also called for the nationalisation of all our natural resources he said the decision by pat rabbitte and his colleagues in the fine gael labour coalition to continue with the shameful policy of giving away valuable natural resources begun by fianna fáil can only be described as despicable these resources whether it is the corrib gas off the mayo coast or the onshore gas in the lough allen and clare basins should be taken into public ownership if and only if those resources can be safely extracted without damage to our environment and to health and safety then the wealth created should be used to benefit the people of ireland not the shareholders of private exploration companies casey concluded let tamboran resources as well as pat rabbitte and his colleagues be fully aware that the people of this region will not roll over and accept the current situation if they ignore the massive opposition that there is within this region to this process then just as shell and the dublin government discovered in north mayo over the past decade they too will meet fierce and determined

revealed the socialist republican party will be actively opposing the royal irish regiment s event in belfast next month the royal irish regiment will be holding a review in belfast s kings hall in october in 2008 éirígí organised significant opposition to an rir parade through belfast city centre maccionnaith said the royal irish regiment is a sectarian unionist militia that has a played a disgraceful role in conflicts in ireland afghanistan and elsewhere the people involved with the rir should be taken to task for the crimes they have committed not be congratulated files that have recently been recovered from the british government s kew gardens archive provide conclusive proof that the rir under its previous name of udr was up to its neck in colluding with the unofficial unionist death squads it is insult to the victims and their families that this event is being held maccionnaith added éirígí will be actively opposing this insensitive stunt details will be released

system éirígí general secretary breandán maccionnaith has slammed the indifference of six county justice minister david ford to the plight of maghaberry prisoner brendan lillis following a meeting with lillis partner roisin lynch yesterday wednesday ford again claimed there were no grounds for his release maccionnaith said brendan lillis is a critically ill man interned in prison on the word of a british secretary of state if david ford can see no grounds for his release he is willfully blind brendan lillis has already suffered enough at the hands of the british state he spent 17 years in prison as a result of the conflict and has now been confined to a bed in a cramped prison cell for more than 600 days due to a crippling bone disease he is in no way mobile he cannot eat and he has failing eyesight it is absurd for anyone to suggest this man is a threat to the public maccionnaith added over the last few months david ford has proven beyond doubt that any commitment he claims towards human rights is a sham and a lie like many who went before him charged with implementing british injustice in ireland he is capable of acting only callously and ruthlessly every week that passes produces further evidence that the institutions at stormont are incapable of delivering equality and human rights for nationalists and republicans the case of brendan lillis is but the latest example brendan lillis must not be allowed to die in jail it is imperative that all those with an interest in human rights act now to increase the pressure on the stormont regime posted by éirígí

brian leeson has condemned the thuggish behaviour of shell security personnel and gardai who injured a number of anti shell activists in mayo earlier today at least four protesters required medical attention for their injuries whilst a number of other people suffered cuts and bruises one of the injured éirígí s joe keegan required stitches to a head wound following an attack by a number of irms personnel irms are the private security firm employed by shell in mayo joe had gone to the aid of a female activist who was being manhandled by irms boss jim farrell another activist gary ronaghan required stitches to his mouth after he was struck by a large piece of steel fencing which was pushed at him by irms staff leeson said today we have seen yet another example of violence from the gardai and shell s hired thugs those who are opposed to shell s operations in mayo have a fundamental right to protest without fear of assault for years that right has been deliberately and systematically suppressed by the gardai a fact which they haven t even tried to hide superintendent joe gannon has publicly declared that there is a no arrest policy in relation to the shell protests instead of arresting people the state are using brute force to facilitate shell s robbery of the corrib gas reserve leeson continued the oil and gas that lies off ireland s coast has the potential to secure ireland s energy needs for decades to come and to address many of the financial challenges we now face corrib and the other oil and gas reserves belong to the people of ireland not to a handful of politicians in leinster house they don t have the right to give away that which is not theirs in the first place those who took part in the protests and direct actions in mayo today are acting in the interests of the people of this country for that they are to be applauded leeson concluded by re committing éirígí to the battle for corrib through corruption manipulation bribery and brute force shell have succeeded in tapping the corrib reserve in building their refinery in ballinaboy and in laying their offshore pipeline but they have not succeeded in laying the onshore section of that pipeline and without it they cannot extract the gas we in éirígí are committed to fighting the laying of every inch of that pipeline to fail to do so is to surrender countless billions of euro s to shell and the other private energy companies shell to sea spokesperson terence conway also condemned the assaults on peaceful protesters he said the injuries inflicted today indicate an expectation of impunity on the part of those assaulting shell to sea campaigners it is clear that individual garda and private security personnel feel confident that serious assaults on campaigners will not lead to them being prosecuted the level of violence we have seen today against shell to sea campaigners engaged in civil disobedience is confirmation of how little has changed in the policing of the corrib

breandán highlighted the unchanged nature of the force in november 2001 amid much fanfare the british government re branded the discredited royal ulster constabulary with a new name and with that new name the occupying power promised a new beginning to policing in the six counties almost a decade later it is now abundantly clear that instead of delivering a new beginning the psni has simply continued with the same failed anti working class and anti republican agenda of the ruc and royal irish constabulary before them the lie of community based policing has been exposed by the reality of increased draconian legislation harassment and brutality he said mac cionnaith continued éirígí activists in newry are no strangers to crown force harassment our activists along with other republicans are being stopped under the draconian british justice and security act it s clear that our activists and supporters in the area are being singled out for special treatment because of their political activities the psni are only proving by their own actions that they are an unchanged unaccountable paramilitary force the psni remains a british police force enforcing british law in support of the british occupation no amount of psni harassment in newry or anywhere else will prevent éirígí activists from continuing the work of rebuilding the republican struggle breandán concluded despite what those constitutional nationalist parties who sit in stormont may claim that move has neither affected the function or the form of the psni nor has it placed manners on them as one prominent apologist for british policing once claimed the psni remains a british police force enforcing british law in support of the british state like police forces across the capitalist world its primary aim remains the protection of the state and the protection of the interests of the ruling class interests which run in direct contradiction to the interests of the working class and of republicans republican newry will be seeing a lot more actions in the coming weeks and months and we urge all those who oppose british policing to join us in our struggle posted by éirígí sligeach at 10 57 am no comments
