AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL Ireland has expressed concern over an incident in north Mayo where a critic of the Corrib gas project had his car window broken and was threatened with pepper spray at a Garda checkpoint.
The Garda has declined to comment on the incident, which was referred yesterday to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission. The incident occurred on February 22nd in Glengad, close to the worksite for the final phase of the Corrib gas project.
