The protesters are due in court over a range of public order offences with a number of them also charged with criminal damage.
In a statement today Harrington referenced recent allegations that Shell supplied alcohol bribes to gardaà at Belmullet:
We no longer believe we can have equality before the law until such time as an independent, international panel/commission has investigated the policing of the Shell/Corrib project with specific reference to policies, practices, procedures, bribery, corruption and collusion.
Conway stated that the “real criminals are Shell and numerous members of the gardaÃ, acting with full approval of senior garda management.â€
