Fourteen women from Erris, Cork, Dublin and the Solidarity Camp gained access to Shell proposed refinery site at Bellanaboy yesterday morning, Friday the 13th April, in an attempt to shut the site down. The women marched up to the inner compond of the site carrying a banner emblazoned: greed kills, send shell to sea. Security rapidly notified the Gardai who arrived in a van. Some of the women remained on the site until 4pm before leaving of their own accord, others gained access to the inner part of the site, causing work to be stopped temporarily, before being escourted off site by the Gardai.
