Let's hope it'll give the local area a lift. Its interesting this appeared next to my thread about Ireland to be the 5th most popular location for international investment in 'Latest Discussions'

Indymedia are numpties.

I wonder will the militant "locals" be boycotting Belmullet GAA Club?
Also why does the local GAA club always get the money is these sorts of things.

I`m not really au fait with the facts of the case. Can one of you give me the following figures?

1. What is the find off Erris worth to Shell in terms of Profits?

2. How much will they pay in tax?

3. How much will they be donating to the local area?

Yes, I'm glad Politics.ie is more open-minded. P.ie takes free speech seriously.

Usually happens in places where there is no soccer club, no rugby club, no cricket club, no hockey club, no blowliing club, no tennis club, no tddlywinks club ... i.e vast swathes of rural Ireland.
