Shell Claus

[Shell to Sea] Happy Christmas & New Year. 

Shell Claus the black pariah of the Claus family is out to take rather than to give. Santa's younger brother has often been compared to Lucifer the dark angel. Rather than give presents, Shell Claus comes to take away what you have and destroy it. His betrayal of the spirit of thanksgiving often brings Santa to tears. In Ireland, Shell Claws has come to visit all the houses in the Erris area, offering false gifts to seduce people, but then afterwards betraying even those who give him their trust. 

 
                                
The Real Santa Claus                        vs                    Shell Claws (widely suspected to be John Egan)

Shell Claws is a master of disguise and sometimes can actually be mistaken for Santa Claus. He offers gifts, but only in the hope of taking away more and ultimately destroying what you have.

A FORMER Garda sergeant who was awarded €33,000 in a defamation case against a Shell to Sea protester, was yesterday identified as the officer involved in the "rape tape" scandal earlier this year.

James Gill, 52, of Crossmolina, Co Mayo, who retired from the force last month, won his action for damages against leading Corrib Gas protester Pat O'Donnell, known as 'the Chief'.

Mr Gill claimed that he was branded a thief and a smuggler in loud comments made in public by Mr O'Donnell, 54, of Porturlin, Ballina, Co Mayo.

‘Rape-tape’ sergeant awarded €33,000 in unrelated defamation case

Issued by Shell to Sea - Saturday, December 10th, 2011

The Garda Sergeant who was recorded saying, “Give me your name and address or I’ll rape you!” last March has been awarded €33,000 plus legal costs for alleged damage to his reputation in an unrelated defamation case against fisherman and Shell to Sea campaigner Pat ‘The Chief’ O’Donnell.

 

James Gill, a former Garda Sergeant, claimed that O’Donnell – star of the award-winning documentary ‘The Pipe’ – had said during a Corrib Gas protest on November 3rd 2006,  that Gill had stolen diesel and smuggled tyres. Gill claimed that these comments had exacerbated a pre-existing gastric condition and had caused him psychological injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

Mr O’Donnell denied the claim and told the court he had been speaking about diesel that had been stolen from him in 1997 or 1998 which had remained unsolved but that his comments weren’t directed at Mr Gill.
