Vincent McGrath : "A wonderful opportunity to inform the public about the real issues surrounding the Corrib gas project"

The book tour will begin in Charlie Byrne's bookshop in the Cornstore, Middle Street. Each week the tour will visit a different venue, taking in Limerick, Cork, Dublin and Belfast. An event will also be held in London next month followed by a tour of North America in April.

Vincent McGrath, one of the Rossport 5 said: "We see this book tour as a wonderful opportunity to inform the public about the real issues surrounding the Corrib gas project that is being imposed on our community and the implications this has for other communities throughout the country. We're looking forward to meeting in person, the people who have stood by us and who continue to support our right to live free from fear in our own homes."

Prior to the R5's book launch, along with Shell to Sea activists they'll be picketing (from 5PM) the Westside Shell Service Station.
