Matt Cooper's Sunday Times have continued their personal vendetta against prominent ShelltoSea campaigner Maura Harrington by targeting here job as priciple of one of the most progressive schools in Erris in an article in yesterday's edition (8th OCtober) . This highly personlised attack is the latest Coopers/Sunday Times attempt at dirt digging against Mrs Harrington.

This ongoing issue reared its ugly head first, a few month ago when they attempted to target here over an unproven minor public order offence in connection with a Rossport 5 demonstration the previous summer in Galway. All this stems from an interview Maura did on Today FM with Matt Cooper in which she made the hack journalist look very silly indeed over recent artcles he wrote in the ST which were merely a regurgitation of the usual Shell PR lies. Not happy with this Cooper has through the Sunday Times attempted to amount a dirty campaing of character assasination which could be now heading for the courts with legal advice been sought by Mrs Harrington to defend her good name.
