Jump To Comment: 1 2Superb, so good to see the level of support for Maura. A short fast is a sharp taste of what she is enduring for the sake of her homeland and people. Carry on to victory.
Due to the excellent news earlier today that the Solitaire had left Irish waters and Maura had ceased her hungerstrike, todays vigil and fast at Shell HQ have been cancelled.
Come one come all to the fubdraiser gig on Sunday night in the cobblestone (see events calendar) and have tehe craic
