A Chara, – T Gerrard Bennett (October 18th) describes the protest by local residents in Mayo against the imposition of Shell’s high-pressure gas pipeline as GUBU-like.
And he is right.
It is indeed grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented that members of an isolated Gaeltacht community are vilified for exercising their right to protect their families.
It is grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented for hundreds of gardaI to be shuffled round the country at the whim of a wealthy multinational.
And it is most certainly grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre and unprecedented for an Irish government to give away our natural resources without any financial benefit to the State, except for a pathetically small tax take. And meanwhile Irish citizens face a price rise of 34 per cent for Irish gas. – Is mise,

Madam, – On RTE radio on Monday the Minister for the Marine and Natural Resources, Noel Dempsey, launched the most outrageous attack on the Shell to Sea protesters.

His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
