International Call For Support

On the 14th of January, Gardai (police) and about 20 men with chainsaws started cutting trees at Glen of the Downs, the first Irish road camp. At the moment they are only cutting away from the camp. People managed to slow them down and no arrests were made for obstructing the chainsaws. The forces of darkness managed to cut by driving quickly up and down the road in cars, cutting a few trees at a time.

A High Court injunction on ordered Wicklow County Council not to fell any trees until Wednesday 21st but also ordered people not to "trespass" on the site.
