250 to 300 people marched in Tullamore against the war on March 8th.
Despite the miserable weather more than 250 people took part in a march through Tullamore organised by the Offaly AntiWar Movement.
After sending a busfull of people to the IAWM event in Shannon last week, collecting thousands of signatures for a petition and organising public meetings the Offaly Anti War Movement held their own demo in Tullamore on Saturday.
After strolling from the GAA Center to the Market Square people listened to speakers before going back to a local hall for a few pints and a bit of a session with local musicians.
The OAWM are going to continue their activities and will be meeting during the week to discuss where to go from here, to get in touch contact Dave on 087 7624327
