Rossport, Ireland: Refuting false media reports

Rossport, Ireland: Refuting false media reports (English, 3 minutes, uploaded over 2 years ago by revoltvideo, broadcast date:2009-06-28)

A Shell To Sea activist speaks to camera to refute the lie put about in the Irish mainstream media that the kayakers who came to within 100m of Shell's contracted pipe-laying ship the Solitaire had been 'detained' by security guards (or more correctly mercenaries) from IRMS.  The simple truth is that the five-person kayak team did indeed get to within 100m of the Solitaire, which steamed away in response, and IRMS personnel did not 'detain' any of the team. The kayakers returned to the fishing boat from which they launched, and returned to shore safely.
