There is a brief interview with Mayo fisherman Pat O'Donnell in this weeks An Phoblacht, which outlines the current situation with regard to the 26 county states's deployment of the navy against peaceful protesters, and fishermen going about their business. ‘GUNBOAT DIPLOMACY’ came to Mayo last week when a Naval Service ship, the LE Orla, arrived off the coast at Broadhaven Bay to protect and support the giant Shell multinational’s Corrib gas project against civil disobedience. |

If you are thinking that SHell will bring wealth to Mayo, find out how they've conducted business in other parts the world, notably Ogoniland in Nigeria & Kurdish lands in Turkey.
