Approx 15-20 people picketed a Statoil garage in Dundalk this Friday evening from 5-7pm in the second in a series of Friday evening pickets organised by Shell to Sea Dundalk .
Picketers waved banners and placards and handed out info leaflets detailing the Rossport 5 saga and calling for a boycott of Statoil on the basis of their involvement in the Corrib gas pipeline project. Many drivers beeped in support and several cars who were intending to stop for petrol at Statoil turned away when they saw the picket.
Todays picket was the second in a series of planned pickets. Shell to Sea Dundalk hope to picket Statoil every Friday in September between 5 and 7pm in the build up to the October first demo in Dublin.
We hold organising meetings in the Fane Bar Dundalk Tuesdays @ 7pm.
All Welcome.
