The Shell to Sea campaign is an inclusive movement which commands support from across the political spectrum. We call on the leaders of these parties to stand up and be counted in defence of the people of Rossport. The government and their partners Shell/STATOIL are colluding to break the will of Rossport 5 by indefinite imprisonment. This abuse of Irish citzens by Shell/STATOIL and this democratically and morally bankrupt Fianna Fail / PD government must be stopped now.
