The High Court has ordered the release of a man who was placed in custody this morning following a protest in which a cherry-picker bedecked with anti-government slogans was parked outside the gates of Leinster House.

Anglo protester Joe McNamara, who is charged with criminal damage to the gates of Leinster House, has had his bail revoked.

A cement mixer with “Anglo Toxic Bank” displayed on the drum of the truck blocked the gates of Leinster House yesterday. The stunt was obviously carefully planned.
