High Court jury finds garda did not assault Cork man during Shell to Sea protest

A High Court jury has dismissed claims by a man that he was assaulted by a garda during a Shell to Sea protest in Co. Mayo.

The protest, held on August 20, 2011, was intended to frustrate the approach to the Shell refinery entrance of a vehicle convoy, lead by a tractor, on the public road at Glenamoy, near Belmullet.
