The people launched a nonviolent resistance movement that was to last some fifteen years. Residents from all walks of life were beaten by police, threatened by mercenaries, sent to jail and prison. Abandoned by the state and their church, insulted and maligned by the media, they refused to give up fighting to save their environment and their heritage"-- OP - 108 CN - GE190.I73 W45 2019 SN - 1583678492 SN - 9781583678497 SN - 9781583678473 KW - Environmental protection : Ireland : Mayo (County) : Citizen participation.
