Old Head protesters also have a voice
First off, the article is very one-sided we heard no views from protesters themselves. Also, I have been at the protest three times and never have I seen anyone wearing a balaclava, and the only intimidation was golfers hitting golf balls right over the heads of the protesters.
Also, that road, if I'm not mistaken, belongs to Irish Lights. And it's very ironic to see signs saying: "Please do not pick flora" they practically flattened the heather for an enormous venture that only the extremely rich can benefit from.
