Mr Wilson (52) was participating in a water-meter protest at the Kilnavara estate in Cavan Town, where around 20 people had gathered in the morning and was arrested along with two other men under the Water Service Act.

A former Garda, he was brought to Cavan Garda Station and released without charge this afternoon, as were the other two men, aged 21 and 46.
