Man Faces Court for Dangerous Driving at Fuel Protest

0:00That's your update from Europe News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story. A 27-year-old man from county court faced court today on five counts of dangerous driving during a fuel protest near the White Gate oil. Refinery, last Saturday. Dare O'Shea allegedly drove a tractor, pulling a slurry tank recklessly through spots in Rostalan, Agata, and White Gate Cross, right amid the demonstration at the Irving oil site. Around a hundred supporters showed up outside the Middleton District Court, waving banners and cheering loud as he rolled in, turning the scene into a real rally vibe. Inside, the case got a quick pause, so prosecutors and his lawyer could hash out bail terms, landing on no social media posts about the charges, or future hearings, plus staying peaceful and on good behavior. Prosecutors are waiting on directions from the director of public prosecutions, with a judge granting an eight-week delay until June. Twenty-fifth O'Shea's out on bail till then, hoping for clarity next time around.
