Shell pull out of Mayo
“It tore the heart out of a community. There was heavy handed policing and brutality towards protesters. Men who had never put a foot wrong in their life were jailed. The military were deployed to obstruct protest. Fishermen’s livelihoods and in some instances their boats were destroyed. There were hunger strikes.
No it wasn’t in some despotic Middle East State or some South American ‘banana republic’ it was Ireland over the last decade.
