Gardaí announced tonight that they had made eight arrests on Glengad beach earlier this evening (Thursday September 4th).

Once again, it is not clear if the protesters have been arrested or simply "detained" under the public order act.

Gardaí announced that they have made a number of arrests during the continuing protests over preparatory works for the laying of the controversial Corrib gas pipeline.

At about 7pm opponents of the Shell scheme to install an expeimental pipeline in an unstable bog landscape, took part in a peaceful demonstration and during this, arrests were made and protesters were transported to Belmullet Station.
