McShane welcomes forest support
The vehicle belonged to a private contractor and was attacked by arsonists almost two weeks ago. It followed numerous incidents of theft of diesel from a number of plant machines in the area.
Independent Councillor Padraig Mc Shane said: “A number of individuals came forward to offer assistance in the Glens area following the arson attack. “Between them and the contractor a rota has been drawn up that will witness round the clock security for the vehicles at Sleiveanorra Forest.
