Shell Thrown Back to Sea

The corporate sponsorship of Shell has been returned after a grassroots campaign.
The corporate sponsorship of Shell has been returned after a grassroots campaign.

Beachhead made, image enhanced
Sponsorship given, accepted, respectable
Corporate politics greases hands
Money makes all acceptable.

Ethics over income, demand the crowd!
Will they listen? Let us try!
The crowd shout louder – listen they do!
Return the sponsorship, people power is why!

The sleazy antics of Shell corporation
That sought a social bridgehead on land to be
Was exposed, defeated by people power:
They cant sponsor the Fleadh, are cast back to sea!

Shell Corporations sponsorship of the Fleadh Ceol in Sligo has been returned and cancelled, thanks to an excellent campaign at grassroots level across the country, in one of the few times ethics triumphed over income. It shows what people power can do – can we keep it together and oppose fracking?
