I have been asked to help publicise this - anyone in town on Thursday lunchtime should drop along for a few minutes to show their support.

Residents Against Racism
Protest at Dail - Handing in of Petitions
Thursday 27th February @ 1.30pm
Main gates of Leinster House, Kildare Street

The petitions are in support of Elizabeth Onasanwo and her family. People may recall the case from before Christmas. Elizabeth and her children are threatened with deportation and she fears that her daughters will be subjected to female genital mutilation if they are forced to go back to Africa. As a result of the pressure of the legal case Elizabeth has suffered severe mental health problems and has been hospitalised, etc.

The case will be held in the High Court on Friday 28th February at 10.30am, again please come along if you are free.
