What law allows five innocent men to be jailed?
What law is it that allows Mayo County Council to permit the development of a huge refinery complex in such a unique landscape?
What law is it that allows An Bord Pleanála to over-rule its own inspector’s report and permit the dumping of an entire bog from one townland to another?
What law is this that allows our Government to grant foreshore licences and compulsory acquisition orders in such an area to facilitate this cheapskate onshore development by Shell?
There are many donkeys in the beautiful fields of Erris, but the law thus applied would appear to be the greatest ass of all.
Or is it our Government that brays loudly to the east about Sellafield while facilitating Shell’s environmental degradation in the west?
In the national interest, Shell’s sub-standard onshore plans must stop. Refining must take place at sea to full international standards, as would be demanded by any other state.
