The second short movie (a work-in-progress cut of the feature movie Policing The Pollution).
This film documents the visible pollution leaving the Shell Corrib Gas Project construction site.
This film documents the visible pollution leaving the Shell Corrib Gas Project construction site.
Shot over three seperate days, the escalation of the visible aluminium in the water leaving the site was staggering.
Despite increasingly heavy rains that should have calmed and dissolved the pollution, the outcome was completely the opposite, with heavily polluted water running directly off-site by the third day.
The video speaks for itself.

The following day people occupied the council offices. the council agreed to meeting with hte locals, ut nothing has really come from it, yet.
Remember the video, "these things take time..."
In the meantime people are slowly being poisoned.
Indymedia.ie has steady reports coming out, check the Mayo section.
The bad side to the story is, the removal of the rest of the peat has started and the latest environmental records I obtained from Mayo County Council (MCC) are the worst yet. We will only know how much the figures have been wangled when I get the test results directly via a good pal in Mayo. That takes about a month.
The figures on the environment records are documented by Shell. As the first report on the first video stated we have caught discrepencies in their figures twice now. Latest results I have on the day in video two (07/03/07) where the aluminium went over 3500 ug/l, Shell's results just listed it as >LOD (above limit of detection).
Time will tell and we'll see what happens next.
