Torn apart couple pays high price to stand up against pipe

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.

“I miss him,” said Caitlín after she saw her husband of 34 years in Cloverhill Prison in Dublin yesterday.

Micheál, aged 65, is one of five men who have been jailed indefinitely for blocking the construction of the €900 million gas Shell Corrib pipeline in Rossport, Co Mayo.
