COMMENT FROM A REGULAR CONTRIBUTOR:
SHELL MACHINE REMAINS STUCK IN MAYO…
The question surely is whether the Mayo is (S)Hellman’s, and whether Shell has enough demulsifier to disperse it…
(Oil mixed with water forms an emulsion which is physically and chemically similar to mayonnaise – think of the off-white globules that are formed by oil slicks)
Efforts to move a jack-knifed 160-ton truck carrying machinery for a controversial gas project are farcical, campaigners have claimed.
As the 40m vehicle continues to block a road in Co Mayo, protesters against Shell’s Corrib scheme said it will take a miracle to move it.
One of the Rossport Five, Willie Corduff, was arrested earlier today during protests over traffic disruption since the truck got stuck near the Glenamoy Bridge in Erris yesterday morning.
Mr Corduff was one of five men who spent 94 days in jail in 2005 after refusing to agree not to protest against the project.
