Rossport Solidarity Camp

Rossport Solidarity Camp


At the invite of the local community, the Rossport Solidarity Camp was set up in June 2005 on the route of the proposed Shell pipeline. We have since been evicted from the camp and now have a house but the spirit of the camp remains and we continue to support the local community and the Shell to Sea campaign’s struggle for justice against the Irish Government and Shell. The solidarity house provides a base for people who wish to visit the area and learn more about the community campaign.

Callout for Spring 09

Rossport Solidarity Camp
After a massive effort which helped stop Shell laying the off-shore section of the pipeline in Summer 08, we expect Shell to try lay the off-shore section again this Spring. This will be their fourth attempt at laying the off-shore pipeline, and we hope to make this as unsucessful as the previous attempts. However we will need your help so please get involved and in particular think of visiting the area around April or May 09 to join the resistance. See a summary of some of last years activities here: Review of 2008

The fight goes on. Be part of it.
