A woman who spent three days in an underground tunnel in a failed bid to halt construction of a motorway has vowed to resume her subterranean protest.
Bicycle courier Lisa Feeney, also known as 'Squeak', was persuaded to leave the tunnel after coming to an agreement with the National Roads Authority (NRA).
However with construction work resumed on the M3 at Rath Lugh in Co Meath, the 26-year-old has threatened to take up her protest once more.
"There's a new plan and although I can't talk about it yet, I know it will definitely bring the spotlight back to Tara. Let's say the badgers have been at work which means more tunnels," she said.
Protesters are demanding that the path of the motorway be re-routed away from an esker at the historic fort at Rath Lugh, sited two miles from the Hill of Tara.
Last month Ms Feeney spent 60-hours holed up at the bottom of a tunnel dug.
