Campaigners warn Rossport protests will continue

A SIMPLE but significant ceremony yesterday marked the 94th day of the release of the Rossport Five, jailed last year for their opposition to Shell’s development of the Corrib gas fields.

The men, who spent 94 days in Cloverhill Prison before their release in late September, were among 100 people gathered at the Co Mayo site yesterday.

A spokesperson for the Shell-to-Sea campaign, Maura Harrington said: “We gathered at 4pm as a pointer to Shell and its partners in Government that we have not forgotten the 94 days the men spent in prison.
