Wednesday September 10, 2008 10:26 by Des Dalton - Republican Sinn Fein saoirse at iol dot ie 223 Parnell St Dublin 1 01 8729747
Republican Sinn Fein supports Maura Harrington The decision of Maura Harrington to embark on a hunger strike is a brave and completely selfless act which has focussed attention on the theft of natural resources which is being carried out by a mulit-national company with the active collusion of the 26-County state. Maura Harrington has been a tireless campaigner and advocate for social, political and economic justice throughout her adult life and has now taken the ultimate step in upholding the rights of her community and the Irish people. We join the calls for the immediate removal of the pipe laying ship Solitaire from Broadhaven bay - which Maura Harrington has stated is required before she will end her hunger strike |

Jump To Comment: 4 3 2 1its very sad that in ireland we have to take such drastic action to retain and preserve what is rightfully ours. maura is a very principled woman.sadly lacking in irish people today. james
This issue goes way beyond political allegiance, class, accent, or any other category - it is a moral issue about the corruption that's sold out national resources, and all who oppose the rape of Mayo need to stand in solidarity with the Shell To Sea campaign.
Maura is a woman of deep principle and strong will and she will see it through, but her life must not be lost. Love and solidarity to all who are resisting Shell and the State.
It doesn't have to be in Mayo. If you can't make it down, act locally. Picket your local Shell/Statoil/Topaz station, the nearest FF/Green/PD TD's office etc. Do something.
Grateful for RSF statement and please make your words real by getting your members down there to get a negotiation going for a full review and so honour the community and Mauras brave action.
