Funding appeal - Shamrocks & Oil Slicks

By: 
Fred Wilcox

Shamrocks and Oil Slicks: A People's Uprising in County Mayo, Ireland, will tell the story of courageous people--farmers, fishermen, school teachers--who fought Shell Oil's plans to build an experimental refinery and dangerous pipeline within their spectacularly beautiful rural region. Police attacked nonviolent resisters, judges sent them to prison, and mercenaries tried to kill them. They refused to give up their struggle to keep their environment from being poisoned, polluted, and ultimately destroyed. The resistance lasted thirteen years.

By: 
John Donovan - RoyalDutchShellPLC.com

I have received information from Maura Harrington, spokesperson for the Shell to Sea campaign in Ireland concerning questions arising from the filed Shell financial accounts (2015) relating to the controversial construction of the Corrib natural gas pipeline in Ireland.

Maura would like the information to be brought to the attention of Shell shareholders so that if others examine the information she has already downloaded from the Irish Companies Registration Office (CRO) and share her concern, questions can be raised at the forthcoming Royal Dutch Shell Plc AGM.
