Mayo protesters remain in jail (Shell pipeline / Ireland)
Edited on Sun Jul-17-05 07:29 PM by struggle4progress
The five Mayo men jailed for failure to comply with a court order preventing them from interfering with the construction of a Shell gas pipeline have been sent back to prison once again. In court on Thursday, the five again refused to purge their contempt. In an effort to end the standoff Minister for Natural Resources Noel Dempsey had earlier ordered a further safety review of the pipeline project.
