Six One News: Ronan Mac Con Iomaire reports from Ballina in Co Mayo where residents have been protesting over the detention of five men for contempt of court
Supporters of the five Co Mayo men jailed for contempt of court in connection with the building of a Shell Corrib pipeline staged another protest in Ballina today.
The five were jailed two weeks ago for their refusal to obey a court order not to obstruct the construction of a gas pipeline through their lands.
Protestors are opposed to the €300 million development on health and safety grounds.
Deputy Jerry Cowley said local people were very angry and concerned that the men were still in prison.
