Protesters were today thwarted in attempts to chain themselves to lorries at the Shell gas refinery site in Co Mayo.
Minor skirmishes involving gardai officers and demonstrators marked an otherwise relatively peaceful day at the Bellanaboy plant.
Around 10 women managed to briefly gain access to the secured site. All were removed without arrest. Up to 50 protesters in total were involved in the attempts to block lorries removing peat from the site.
When some tried to obstruct traffic at one of the main gates they were restrained by gardai protecting access for workers. Some of the Shell to Sea campaigners alleged they had received minor injuries during the brief disturbances.
Meanwhile, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is to hold an appeal hearing on Monday into the granting of a pollution control licence for the refinery.
The EPA has already given the plant the green light but several groups opposed to it are to voice their concerns at the hearing in Belmullet.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
