Hunger strike may return

Water protesters in Wheatfield prison “are willing to go back on hunger strike” if an agreement they claim to have made with prison officials falls through.

The three men — Derek Byrne, Paul Moore and Damien O’Neill — said they had been refusing food since being moved from Mountjoy to Wheatfield on Friday.

They had stated they were planning on refusing fluids from Monday morning if they were not sent back to the Mountjoy training unit.
