Fingal County Council has served attachment and committal proceedings on Deputy Joe Higgins and Cllr Clare Daly for breaching High Court orders preventing them from obstructing waste collection.

The two Socialist Party members will have to appear in the High Court on Friday to explain why they should not be committed to prison for breaching these orders.

The court today granted another injunction against the anti waste charge protesters.

Joe Higgins said the protests would continue.

TDs Finian McGrath and Tony Gregory, as well as Sinn Féin Councillor Dessie Ellis, were in court to support the protesters.
