Policy and policing at Bellanaboy: why two wrongs don’t make a right

THE Taoiseach and the Fine Gael leader have condemned the alleged use of violence by demonstrators at the Shell to Sea campaign and insist the rule of law must be enforced to protect Irish resources given away to foreign multinationals.

They have ignored the excessive use of force by gardaí at Bellanaboy.

Two wrongs — giving away the resources of the Irish people and abuse of their powers by the forces of law — don’t make a right.
