A leading member of the Shell to Sea campaign in north Mayo is due to declare his intention today to run as a candidate in this year’s Seanad election.
Dr Mark Garavan, a sociologist with the Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT), will stand as an Independent candidate on the National University of Ireland panel.
The move is understood to be part of a strategy within the Shell to Sea campaign in relation to the forthcoming general election. This may involve canvassing for politicians supportive of the campaign’s stance – currently Dr Jerry Cowley (Ind) in Mayo, and members of the Labour Party, Green Party and Sinn Fein in that and other constituencies.
Dr Garavan is a native of Castlebar, Co Mayo, and a spokesman for Shell to Sea in north Mayo. He is currently lecturing in GMIT’s department of nursing. He was employed as a researcher with NUI Galway’s Environmental Change Institute from 2000 to 2003.
The Corrib gas project will be one of the environmental issues on which Dr Garavan intends to campaign for one of six university seats in the Seanad. Three are held by NUI and three by Dublin University (Trinity College).
It is understood Dr Garavan will also focus on issues relating to climate change and global warming, and he has also expressed concerns about the educational system’s role in preparing students to be responsible citizens rather than “simply proficient consumers”.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. 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.
