Efforts to move truck ‘farcical’

Efforts to move a jack- knifed 160-tonne truck carrying machinery for a contentious gas project were deemed farcical yesterday by campaigners.

As the 40m vehicle continued to block a road in Co Mayo, protesters against Shell’s Corrib scheme said it would take a miracle to move it.

One of the Rossport Five, Willie Corduff, was arrested yesterday during protests over traffic disruption after the truck got stuck near the Glenamoy Bridge in Erris on Tuesday morning.
