Peace protests...... On the morning of Wednesday September 10th peace activists from Donegal, Cavan and Sligo gathered for a silent peace vigil. The vigil involved candles, banners and creative art and was designed to reflect on the ongoing bloodshed in occupied Iraq and the Irish government's complicity by allowing U.S military forces to use Irish airspace, landing and refueling facilities. At about 1pm government ministers and miscellaneous Fianna Fail TDs started arriving for the 2-day 'think tank' session. Whilst dozens of paranoid Gardai blocked the entrance to the Sligo Park Hotel, protesters greeted Bertie and co. with banners reading 'End Shannon Warport' and 'Peace Now! Ireland and Iraq!'. |

October 11th it is then. Anyone on Community Employment or the Job Initiative whose job is threatened please note.
I wonder, will Harney be showing her face there? Or will the FFers try to distance themselves from her?
good to see that the whole country isn't asleep, and I didn't see one anti bin charges protester at all, people in Sligo generally pay their charges you know. taxed to the hilt but still protesting, fair play ruairi.
Don't worry about the small numbers. Even one person on a picket shows that the anti-war movement is alive and determined.
Better one or two showing their posters openly than a crowd mulling around chatting (and missing the deputies on the way in or out).
Keep it up.
