Moore angered by anti-terror detention

SINGER Christy Moore has described his anger at being quizzed about his family and his songs while being held without explanation under anti-terrorism laws at a British port.

The 59-year-old and his driver were detained for two hours under the British Prevention of Terrorism Act at Holyhead on Monday after arriving from Dublin.

The incident is being examined by the Department of Foreign Affairs, after both men made statements to officials there and to the Irish Ambassador.
