A public rally is taking place tomorrow evening in protest at the jailing of five Mayo farmers, who are refusing to allow Shell Oil to place a gas pipeline on their lands.   

The company took an injunction against the men, for blocking access to the site of the proposed gas pipe.

They have been sent to Clover Hill prison.

The men say they are worried about health and safety implications, but Shell says their fears are groundless.
