Man arrested at gas terminal protest
20/10/2006 - 08:53:41One man was arrested today at the site of the controversial Corrib gas terminal.
Between 250 and 300 protesters gathered at oil giant Shell’s plant in Co Mayo for what has been billed a National Day of Action.
A convoy of around 30 buses, vans and trucks carrying workers made its way to the Bellanboy site after 7.30am amid a heavy Garda presence.
Protesters split into two factions – those who wanted to block the workers, and those who made their way to a rally.
A small number of demonstrators sat in front of the convoy and one man was arrested and taken to Belmullet garda station.
After the workers gained access to the site, the remaining protesters rejoined the others.
