The site at Rafeen has been re-opened for business and as can been
seen below they are going to prove to be a force to be reckoned
with.
Underneath this bender there is a Tunnel 10ft deep and around
12ft horizontally, so far and they have only been on the site
1 week.
Three more tunnels on 2 other sites are to be started in the next
couple of days.
These guys really are career tunnellers. - Amazing !
This shot shows another camp - amazing what can be achieved with
some plastic and a bit of know how.
Darragh demonstrates one of the many lock-ons peppered around
the sites.
Apparantly when in use, the protestors hands are padlocked to
a horizontal bar buried around three feet down.
Get out of that - son
These guys really mean
business.
We'll have pictures of the inside of the tunnels ASAP.
Look at this ....
There are to be 700 houses to be built between the left of this
picture and the silver pylon.
The proposed new 220kV line would be carried on one of the two
200ft eyesores and the lines would
go right over those new houses. How do these people get planning
permission ?
