Protester to appeal defamation ruling
ÁINE RYAN
A CORRIB gas protester who was recently successfully pursued for defamation by a retired garda has appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.
Fisherman Pat ODonnell, known locally as The Chief, claims Circuit Court Judge Margaret Heneghan could be perceived to be biased in her ruling, because she attended a Co Mayo secondary school for a time in the 1970s with retired Garda sergeant James Gill.
Mr Gill policed the Corrib protests for a number of years and sat on its monitoring committee.
