Protesters continued their action against the Shell-sponsored Corrib gas project this morning as work restarted there after the holidays.
Shell to Sea spokesman Dr Mark Garavan told ireland.com: "Around 70 people were at the construction site this morning to register their opposition to the pipeline and gas processing facility being sited here. There were around 50 to 60 gardaí present.
"Shell to Sea is committed to continuing the protest using the courts, campaigning and public meetings to win our case. The Rossport Five book is also selling well and helping to raise awareness of our campaign."
