Five protesters against gas pipelines being built by Shell in the west of Ireland were returned to jail today after an attempted peace deal failed.

RETIRED teachers Caitlín Úi Sheighin and her husband Micheál are already paying a high price for something they believe in — the time they have left together.

THE five men jailed over protests against the Shell gas drilling operation in Mayo remain determined to continue their protest, said a TD who visited them in jail yesterday.
