Anybody got the full list of those that Aer Rianta want to exclude? Are they all peace campers and those in jail, or have other activists being singled out as well?

In answer to the above, the order against the people mentioned was not completely dropped - an injunction barring them from trespassing on Aer Rianta land was made but all the rest (including spurious claims for damages) was dropped.

The list of people being injuncted is fairly random and even includes someone who only delivered a bag of spuds! while leaving out some people closely associated with the camp
