Hunger striker to protest through Christmas

THE man who has been on hunger strike for a week over redundancy terms has vowed to continue his protest through Christmas.

This is despite confirmation that the €84,000 package he refused earlier this year is still on the table.

Father of nine, John Lane, 54, from Ballylanders in Co Limerick, who has been on hunger strike in Mitchelstown square, in north Cork since last Wednesday, dismissed 4HOME’s offer as “intimidation” and vowed to continue his protest.
