Jump To Comment: 1 2good to see that recent change of tactic by the state and gardai (ie truing to incarcerate and drag porgressive elements within the local community and campaign through the courts and in to jail) haven't lessened the resolve of locals and other activists alike
It seems there was an extremely low-key police presence today and activists had to physically stop a squad car- which was intent on driving past the site-by standing in front of it, to get the gardaí to take notice of the fact that one of the Shell lorries had no tax.
We'll have to watch out for that prosecution...
It's expected that the gardaí will be ordered back in their usual force tomorrow morning.
