Ireland On-Line: More than 1,000 turn out for ‘Rossport Five’ demonstration
Posted Sunday 14 August 2005
Supporters of the “Rossport Five” took their case to Galway this weekend where more than a thousand people attended a rally in the city centre.
The campaigners have been demanding that the Shell oil company abandons its plans to build a gas pipeline in their land.
The five Mayo men have now spent six weeks in jail for opposing the project.
Green Party councillor Niall O’Brolchain said that the men are prepared to stay there as long as it takes to prove the oil giant’s plans are not safe.
