CAS Protesters Take To The Streets In Phil Hogan Masks
Protestors in Kilkenny City, who have been maintaining an ongoing campaign against the construction of a new bridge in the centre of the medieval city, have staged a new protest wearing Phil Hogan masks.
The dispute surrounds the Central Access Scheme (CAS), a multi-million euro project project that includes the construction of a new bridge over the River Nore.
Marching through the city protests called on the former minister for the environment to "stop the madness" and carrying signs reading "no upheaval, keep it medieval".
