Ms NI SeighIn, a daughter of Micheal O SeighIn one of the five men jailed since June 29th last, also said the Shell to Sea campaign was planning a blockade of the Statoil premises in Dublin docks on September 10th. read more

Shell must free the Rossport Five by immediately lifting its court injunction against them, it was claimed today.

Labour Party environment spokesman Eamon Gilmore said the Co Mayo men were today spending their 58th day in Dublin’s Cloverhill Prison for simply defending the health and safety of their families and communities.
