A High Court jury has dismissed a claim by a farmer, Patrick Coyle, that he was unlawfully assaulted by gardaí during an early morning protest against the Shell Corrib gas refinery in Co Mayo.

Two gardaí, a father and son, have denied they assaulted some protesters during a protest against the Shell Corrib gas refinery in Co Mayo.

A fisherman has told the High Court he suffered “three or four fast ones” to the face from a garda using closed fists and wearing leather gloves during a protest against the Shell gas refinery in Mayo.

A Mayo fisherman has told the High Court a garda punched his face three or four times at a Shell to Sea protest, while his hands were held behind his back.

ROSSPORT protesters last night vowed to continue their fight against the Corrib gas pipe line despite three of their members being awarded three-month jail sentences.
