Lock-in protest reaches 100th day

There will be no cake or candles but a rich helping of determination at the gate of Seamus Sherlock today when he and supporters mark the 100th day of his barricade.

Bank of Scotland had a court order against the Co Limerick farmer over a €430,000 mortgage, and Mr Sherlock was faced with losing his home and 50-acre farm.

But he decided to stand his ground and placed tonnes of silage bales at the entrance to his property to prevent any move to evict him.
