Attempt to undermine CAWC defeated At Cork Circuit Court this morning, two District Court convictions against Fintan Lane for allegedly ‘directing’ the erection of anti-war posters near Glanmire in County Cork were quashed by the judge. The case relates to the putting up on ESB poles of cardboard A2 posters by members of the Cork Anti-War Campaign (CAWC) advertising the first of two 4,000-strong marches that occurred in Cork city in March 2003. Nobody was seen erecting the posters in question at Glanmire, but as Fintan Lane was the publicly identified chairperson and spokesperson for the campaign, Cork County Council moved to bring charges against him. However, they were unable to successfully serve summonses on him and waited until he was serving a two-month sentence in Limerick Prison for his part in a mass trespass at Shannon airport. In December 2003, two summonses were served on him while he was in prison. |
