Environmental campaigner with Kerry roots remains in prison

An environmental campaigner with South Kerry roots remains in prison after UK authorities said they were unable to fit her correctly with an electronic tag.

Gaie Delap, who will turn 78 on January 10th,  was given a prison sentence after taking part in a protest that blocked the M25 motorway in England.
