Clare Daly injured herself scaling Shannon perimeter fence, court hears

Independent TD Clare Daly cut her lip, two fingers and suffered a swollen wrist using a rope ladder to scale a perimeter fence at Shannon Airport in an unsuccessful attempt to inspect US military aircraft, a court has heard.

The politician was arrested along with fellow Independent Mick Wallace on July 22 last year after they breached security and made it on to a grass verge next to an area known as taxiway 11, the court heard.
