A book launch in Brighton Sunday. The Rossport 5 - locked up by the Irish
state at the behest of Shell when disputing Shell workers right to trepass
on their land. Shell seek a pipeline and land-based processing plant for
Natural Gas from the Corrib field off Rossport. Protesters from all around
have been drawn to the area as the high-handed state / corporate response
to local opposition has escalated the opposition. Our Story: The Rossport
Five, first publication from the BlueGreenEarth.com affiliated Small World
Media publishing group, is out now. One of the Five is touring it, and is at
that Cowley Club 3pm-6pm Sunday 4th March.
Come along if you can!

BRIGHTON, UK: MARCH 04, 2007:
Our Story: the Rossport 5
UK Book Launch this weekend
Hi,
I'm writing to let you know that one of the Rossport 5, Vincent McGrath, will be in London and Brighton this weekend to launch their new book 'Our Story; the Rossport 5'.
The first event will be the official media launch hosted at the Hammersmith Irish Centre, Blacks Rd on Friday evening (March 2nd 2007), details attached. On Saturday (March 3rd 2007) he will be at London Action Resource Centre, 62 Fieldgate St, Whitechapel, at 4pm.
BRIGHTON:
On Sunday (March 4th 2007) McGrath will be in The Cowley Club, London Rd in Brighton from 3pm-6pm, coinciding with the SchNews fundraising dinner.
This will be the first chance for those in the UK to get the Rossport book, as well as an update on the current situation there in Co Mayo - he's your man to ask questions. There will be films!
Our Story; the Rossport 5 is a direct oral history in the voices of the imprisoned men and their families, and will be a great resource for those interested or involved in community struggle and human rights.
Hope to see you there!
