This was my first time at an action day/protest in the Shell To Sea struggle and I must say, I was very impressed with the determination and spirit shown, especially by the locals.

This has to go down in Irish history as the greatest working class struggle for rights since the 1913 lock-out.

My apologies for the mix -up with these images...it's from the lack of practice uploading here.
