Okay, you had me until I saw the guy in the Bush t-shirt. That was you, Tribesman, admit it! ~
A T-shirt in the West of Ireland , you must be mad , what about the weather .
Though I might be in the photos of one of the Galway marches , I havn't looked .

1) organize a nationwide boycott. Ask other nations, including the USA, to quit buying their gas (consider me on board at this point)
Hey we invented the word
The boycotts on at most petrol stations , though you know what people are like , the company drops the price a few cents/litre and people go and buy it .

2) send letters to the members of their board informing them of the boycott (once it's underway)
Done it , though I didn't go to the bother of attending their annual board and shareholders meetings

3) if you have any sort of impeachment/recall power over your MDs, start a recall petition against the MP for Mayo. Inform him/her as long as he continues to be Shell's patsy, he's not representing his people.
I think thats Cooper/Flynn , so corrupt and seemingly immune over even openly criminal actions she cares just about as much as her father did

4) contact BP and Exxon/Mobile. You'd be surprised what one large corporation might be willing to do to stick it to one of their larger competitors.
Why would they be interested , it is only offering a 100% profit over 30 years , and that is only if they use third world dangerous methods , if they do it safely there is little financial incentive .

Oh yes, farmers are, especially with the cushtie EU money. A friend of my aunt's bought several cows just so that he could get money from the EU later for getting rid of the cows. Also, my auntie owns two goats for legal purposes, i.e. the handy hand-outs from the EU...
Malcolm ; the Foot and Mouth was the downfall of many of these farmers .
It is very hard to bring your friends flock of sheep onto your land so you are entitled to payments when your friend is not allowed to move his sheep .
It exposed many many farmers who had been getting headage payments , yet had never owned a single sheep , let alone the hundreds that they were claiming for
