To: rossportsolidaritycamp@gmail.com For immediate press release 3pm, Friday 12th Sept 2008 Shell to Sea. Maura Harrington enters her fourth day on hunger strike. At the time of writing Maura Harrington, Shell to Sea, is into her fourth day of a hunger strike which she began on Tue 9th August at approximately 6pm when Shell's pipe-laying ship the Solitaire arrived in Broadhaven Bay, Erris, Co Mayo. Maura is clear that her hunger strike will end in one of two ways. 1) Written confirmation that the Solitaire has left Irish territorial waters. 2) Her death. In the midst of stiff Shell to Sea protests on Wednesday 11th, the damaged Solitaire left Broadhaven Bay for Killybegs, Donegal where AllSeas (the Solitaire owners) are 'assessing and deciding' where the ship is to be repaired.  "These decisions take time" said one Shell spokesperson. At present the fate of Maura Harrington lies in the hands of AllSeas, even though the situation is not of their making. However time is not a luxury they can afford given Maura's deteriorating condition. "Allseas and Captain Van Der Plicht should not allow themselves to be cat's-paws for Shell playing ducks and drakes with my life", Maura Harrington said today. Speaking on the possible renegotiation of the great gas giveaway terms that were fixed by Ray Burke and Bertie Ahern, Maura went on to say, "There is no country on earth that have played hard-ball with Shell, that Shell haven't backed down on". Shell to Sea intend to stand firm against Shell and the Irish Government until the Shell to Sea compromise is accepted; that the refinery is relocated to sea on an offshore platform and the fiscal terms that apply to the oil and gas companies are revised in order that the failing economy and the people of Ireland may benefit from their own natural resources. Saturday's upcoming reclamation of another local resource - the local beach at Glengad. Shell to Sea say also that the recent environmental degradation by Shell of the Special Area of Conservation at the beach at Glengad, which has been ignored by all the institutions of the State is illegal and unacceptable. We intend to reclaim that beach which has been closed to the public for nearly 2 months now. Shell to Sea will be re-opening that section of beach by removing the fences which Shell have erected there, at 12 noon on Saturday 13th September. Media welcome for tea and to meet at the Rossport Solidarity Camp, Glengad, 11am Saturday.
