Bellanaboy Gas Terminal

I visited Ballinaboy on Friday morning and again on Monday morning(6th, Nov) to show solidarity with the people of Rossport who are fighting a battle with the government and Shell, who both want to push a pipeline through their village without consent.

While there I met with Vincent McGrath, one of the "Rossport 5" on the 4th of November. Vincent spoke passionately about his involvement in the campaign against the siting of a high pressure gas pipeline through his village. He is without doubt, one of the most committed and insightful men I have ever met.

His fears and that of the local community are well founded. I am disgusted at the neglect of this area by the Government.

A number of other Labour party councillors were present and are in picture below:

Declan Bree (Sligo), Catherine Connolly and Colette Connolly.
