Fears grow for woman buried in tunnel

CONCERN is growing for the safety of a 26-year-old woman who has locked herself in an underground tunnel and is threatening to collapse it if attempts are made to rescue her.

Lisa Feeney is taking the dramatic form of protest at Rath Lugh in County Meath, where a motorway connecting the county with Dublin is being constructed.

Building was suspended yesterday amid fears that machinery would collapse soil on top of Ms Feeney and into the tunnel that was burrowed by a group of around 20 protestors.
