A marquee erected for 40 wedding guests on a halting site was removed after gardaí turned up in force to make sure the reception did not go ahead.

More than 20 marked and unmarked Garda vehicles, including five public order vans, stood by as a firm of civil engineers dismantled it yesterday afternoon.
