(Thu 5th October)

After a 25 strong meeting of Cork Shell to Sea last night there was a very successful,if small protest at the Shell garage in Blackpool, Cork, between 8 & 9am today.

Five of us (including a Socialist Party member and 3 Anarchists) held up banners at two of the garage's entrances, calling for a boycott. One of us walked up and down the traffic light queues, leafletting.
Almost no-one called into the garage while we were there, during what is usually a peak time for that garage.
Cork Shell to Sea is following up with a demo at the local Shell depot, at 7am tomorrow morning
And with a protest rally in Daunt Square on Saturday at 2pm
