Activists opposed to the construction of a biogas plant in Gort, Co Galway, say the throwing of a bag of cow dung at two TDs at a local meeting has “drowned out” their concerns.

Gort Biogas Concern Group said it condemns the act “in the strongest possible terms” and noted that the man in question is in no way attached to it.
