Jump To Comment: 1 2Over the last few years, we have witnessed the Irish state deploying a huge amount of its resources including the police, navy and air force to construct a Shell pipeline in Rossport in County Mayo. Despite violent repression from Shell security guards and the state, media witch hunts, the local community continues to struggle against the this toxic pipeline which the say is a health safety hazard and offers no social or economic benefits. See http://www.wsm.ie/news_viewer/5736
As the Shell project reaches a critical stage, speakers will outline what we can do to support the struggle in Rossport and the wider question of national resources.
Former chair of the Anti-Racist Network, Davy Carlin is to speak at a day of discussions and workshops organised by the Workers Solidarity Movement and the Anarchist Communist Discussion Group.

WSM spokesperson, Michael McGovern says: “the discussion will focus on the recent racist attacks and what practical steps we can do to combat racism and the rise of the far right.”
Adding: “Racism and sectarianism must be fought on a class basis, rather than depending on our political class.”
Other discussions include the politics of anarchism and what type of society we envisage beyond the state and capitalism. WSM speaker Gavin Gleeson will also be giving an eye-witness account of the community struggle against Shell in County Mayo and the wider question of national resources.
