Joe O'Toole (Independent)

I raised the issue of Shell in north Mayo last week and at the time I was not aware of the full facts of the matter. I want to make clear in this situation that as somebody who have been a constant critic of Shell for more decades than I care to remember and who has been a street protestor all my life, addressed protest meetings, sat on streets and engaged in civil actions against various matters time and again, I support and admire people who take such actions. However, I do not, will not and cannot condone the kind of intimidation that is going on at present.
