Residents prepared to face jail to block council’s drinking water pipeline

LIKE the Rossport Five, a group of Co Limerick protesters are prepared to go to jail to stop a new drinking water pipeline.

Locals in Pallaskenry insist the proposed Limerick pipeline will carry harmful material.

Villagers want to hold on to an existing local supply and are fighting a connection to the Deel River which, they claimed, remained badly polluted.
