Road Rage

Two people still imprisoned over their protests at Glen of the Downs near Dublin have gone on hunger strike. Meanwhile at the Glen of the Down Nature Reserve itself large boulders have been placed at the entrance of the carpark, and there are activists locked-on up in tree houses, trying to stop the European funded £20 million dual carriageway. One of the hunger strikers Michael Hammond is on a charge of "attempting to enter a propelled vehicle while stationary(?!)". Apparently of the 13 arrested his is the most serious charge!!
